As SEA seeks to decarbonize, bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is emerging as a dual-purpose solution—offering both renewable energy and carbon removal. With abundant agricultural residues from palm oil, rice husks, and sugarcane, the region has a natural feedstock advantage. Yet questions remain: Is BECCS economically viable at scale? How do emerging carbon utilization pathways compare to traditional storage? We are investigating whether hybrid BECCS models and advanced carbon capture technologies could unlock new opportunities.
