Attached you will find Drax's comments to the CARB Scoping Plan. Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) has a key role to play in California's climate goals by capturing and storing carbon underground, while also simultaneously providing dispatchable renewable power. CDR technologies, such as BECCS, need government support to provide investor confidence and ensure that the widest range of negative emission solutions are brought to market. A recent study from DOE National Renewable Energy Laboratory - https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy22osti/81644.pdf - indicates that the US will need between 7-14GW of installed BECCS capacity by 2035 in order to achieve 100% clean electricity. This represents the removal of approximately 55-120 million tons CO2 per year by 2035 from BECCS. We offer the attached comments which we believe will position California at the forefront of this technology. We welcome the opportunity to discuss these comments and BECCS opportunities further. |
