Bioenergy

While the amount of sustainable bioenergy is highly limited, some use will be needed to curb fossil emissions, especially in sectors with few and distant decarbonisation alternatives. Bellona focuses on advanced bioenergy sources, particularly the potential of marine sources such as seaweed. Bellona also works on the combination of sustainable bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (Bio-CCS) to attain carbon negative emissions.
