Time-dependent climate impact of biomass use in a fourth generation district heating system, including BECCS

open access: yesBiomass and Bioenergy, 2020
Changes to energy systems are needed in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change. This study assessed the climate change mitigation potential, in terms of temperature change over time, of a new combined heat and power (CHP) plant, including the dynamic effect on an existing fourth generation district heating system.
