Missed the ninth presentation of the UPTAKE Webinar Series of 12 November 2025 that focused on the paper entitled ‘Quantifying Climate Change Effects of Bioenergy and BECCS: Critical Considerations and Guidance on Methodology’?
Visit the page below that provides an overview of the main issues that were discussed and the video registration of the webinar. 
Some key takeaways from the discussion that was moderated by Eilidh Forster with the participation of Annette Cowie as a speaker and Stefan Majer as a panelist:
- Biomass systems differ widely, making standardized assessment complex.
- Counterfactual scenarios and substitution effects are of significance.
- MRV for biomass-based removals must be rigorous and transparent.
- Policy frameworks need to better distinguish between renewable energy and carbon removal.
- Clear demand signals for permanent CO2 storage are essential.
