Carbon Negative BECCUS
October 25, 2024
Phra Matuli 1 (พระมาตุลี 1), 2nd Floor
Introduction
The “Carbon Negative BECCUS,” will gather experts and researchers to discuss advancements and challenges in bioenergy, carbon capture, utilization, and storage (BECCUS) technologies. BECCUS integrates bioenergy production with carbon capture and storage to not only produce renewable energy but also capture CO₂ emissions, potentially achieving net-negative carbon emissions. This dual approach holds significant promise for reducing greenhouse gases and supporting sustainable development, especially in regions like Thailand where bioenergy resources are abundant.
The conference sessions will begin with an exploration of Thailand’s perspective on integrating bioenergy with carbon capture, examining the potential benefits and challenges within the country’s unique environmental and economic contexts. Following this, a techno-economic assessment of BECCUS will delve into the financial viability and scalability of these technologies in Thailand. Additionally, the life cycle assessment of high-throughput carbon capture and utilization (CCU) processes will be discussed, providing insights into their environmental impacts and efficiency. Another session will present research on utilizing porous carbon materials derived from waste to enhance CO₂ absorption. The conference will conclude with a panel discussion comparing the advantages and limitations of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) versus amine absorption techniques for CO₂ capture, aiming to identify the most promising strategies for achieving carbon negativity in Thailand.
