In today's podcast we are talking about bioenergy and specifically looking at how carbon capture and storage is set to transform the technology.

The UK’s net zero energy transition is firmly underway and one of the most promising new technologies is Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage, or BECCS. By combining the generation of renewable power with the permanent removal of CO₂, BECCS has been described as a “double win” for climate action.

At the heart of this opportunity is Evero, the low-carbon energy-from-wastewood company. Evero has been selected by the UK government to transform its Ince Biomass Plant into the nation’s first large-scale BECCS facility. Branded InBECCS, the project aims to capture 217,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually, generate clean electricity for more than 100,000 homes, and create skilled green jobs — all while diverting waste wood from landfill.

To explore this opportunity, I’m joined today by Alex Young, Head of Development at Evero — an engineer-turned-developer with more than two decades in renewables. Together, we’ll dive into the promise, the pitfalls, and the future of BECCS in the UK.

A bit of background. InBECCS is situated in Cheshire’s Protos energy hub, and will integrate into the HyNet carbon capture, transport and storage cluster, connecting bioenergy directly with the UK’s growing hydrogen economy.

As such it represents not just an industrial retrofit, but a potential template for scaling BECCS across multiple sites nationwide.

So how will it be delivered and what does INBECCS mean for Britain’s leadership in carbon removal and industrial decarbonisation?

Well let’s find out…
