This white paper examines the current status and future outlook of biogenic CO2 carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) from both the technical and economic perspectives, as well as providing market intelligence on trends shaping bioCO2 capture. The report details the sector\u2019s fast-growing capture capacities, the expanding range of applications for renewable CO2 and the policy frameworks guiding its scale-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biogenic CO2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Biogenic CO2<\/strong> is the carbon dioxide (CO2) resulting from the decomposition, digestion, chemical reaction or combustion of biomass-derived products. Atmospheric CO2, assimilated by biomass through photosynthesis, is subsequently returned to the atmosphere or the soil as biogenic CO2, depending on the type of conversion and final use of the biomass, in what is known as the natural short carbon cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n

Biogenic CO2 from biogas presents an immediate and scalable solution to Europe\u2019s growing climate and circularity ambitions. The current conventional CO2 demand in Europe in 2024 stands at 13.9 Mt\/year<\/strong>, with the merchant market accounting for 56% of this total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the European Commission\u2019s Impact Assessment for the Climate Target projects that emerging markets (primarily e-fuels and storage) will require a dramatic increase to 344 Mt of CO2 by 2040<\/strong> to support a 90% net reduction in GHGs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biomethane and bio-CO2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The market data study shows the number of biomethane plants capturing biogenic CO2 in Europe\u00a0has increased eightfold<\/strong>\u00a0over the past five years, from 15 plants capturing 0.16 million tonnes in 2020 to\u00a0125 plants capturing 1.17 million tonnes in 2025<\/strong>, equivalent to around 14% of Europe\u2019s merchant liquid and solid CO2 demand.<\/p>\n\n\n

With confirmed and underconstruction projects, capacity is expected to exceed\u00a02 Mt annually<\/strong>\u00a0by 2027, with\u00a0179<\/strong>\u00a0biomethane plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
