Arbor BECCS

Arbor’s system is a next-generation approach to bioenergy with carbon capture and storage, or BECCS. The company converts waste biomass from timber plantation thinnings into synthetic gas: a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. That gas is then burned in a furnace with pure oxygen, producing water and a high-pressure form of carbon dioxide. That CO2 spins a turbine to generate electricity, before being captured and stored underground.
