This study maps biogenic CO2 emissions from over 18,000 biofuel and bioenergy facilities across EU Member States, covering sectors including biogas, biomethane, bioethanol, syngas, and biomass combustion. The results reveal forestry residues as the predominant feedstock and highlight significant disparities in carbon capture infrastructure across member states. The findings support integration of BECCS and similar carbon management technologies to achieve negative emissions aligned with European Green Deal climate neutrality targets.
