> Carbon removal - Market overviews

Scaling the CCUS industry

2022 report from McKinsey. The report states the key figures used for ReCarber’s TAM estimates:

• Carbon removals of 4.2 Gt per year by 2050 (estimate used by ReCarber)
• Some estimates of TAM range from 6-10 Gt by 2050
• “BECCS will be critical as the net zero transition progresses”

CDR - Best practice guidelines

2024 report from World Economic Forum. Covering what companies can learn from first movers, and a general overview including:

• Why carbon removal is essential
• Overview of technologies
• Why companies should buy engineered carbon removal credits (from for example BECCS) now

CDR - Europes & Germanys role in catalyzing a trillion € industry

2024 report from BCG. Report on the market size for carbon removals, including splits across technologies and regions.

• Estimating a EUR 175-250bn TAM already in 2035 (ReCarber estimate is more conservative at 93bn)
• Estimating CDR market potential in 2050 to EUR 470-940bn - as large as today’s airline industry
• EU share: estimating European share to be EUR 220bn in 2050 (ReCarber estimate is more conservative at 128bn)
• BECCS share: estimated to be 35% of carbon removal TAM, ie EUR 165-330bn

> Carbon credits - Buyer overviews

The time for carbon removal has come

2023 report from BCG. The report is based on interviews with carbon credit buyers. Key take aways include:

• The 2030 demand voiced in interviews today is 40-200 Mt, and will by far outstrip the expected operational supply
• The demand 2030 will be even larger, 1.1-1.6 Gt, if companies are to hit their stated net zero targets

Website CDR.fyi funded and run by Milkywire. Tracking data of the known carbon removal purchases. As of Jul 2024, the volume purchased was 11 Mt CO2.

> BECCS - Overview

BECCS explained

2019 report from Bio Energy Europe. While it is a bit old and outdated, it covers the basics of BECCS including:

• What is BECCS
• How BECCS works
• How CO2 can be utilized

> BECCS - In depth research & data

Comparative analysis of CO2 removal pathways

2022 research paper from Royal Society of Chemistry. Going deep on life cycle analyses (LCAs) of different carbon removal technologies.

• Showing the high efficiency and quality of BECCS, and compared to for example DAC.

Techno-economic assessment of BECCS - A Swedish case study

2022 research paper from Chalmers. Analyzing the potential for BECCS at 110 existing biomass and waste-to-energy plants in Sweden.

• Results show a cost of carbon capture and transport to nearest harbour in the cost range of 45-125 EUR / ton CO2
• Show a declining cost curve with volumes
