As a major negative emission technology

biomass energy-carbon capture

utilization and storage(BECCS) technology is the key to stabilize global temperature rise at a lower level. In order to evaluate the application and emission reduction potential of BECCS in China

this paper summarizes the development status of BECCS technology and systematically expounds the impact of biomass resource quantity

technology maturity

economy and government policy on deployment of the BECCS technology. The emission reduction potential of the BECCS technology based on agricultural and forestry waste combustion power generation

coal-fired coupled biomass power generation and biogas was evaluated

providing reference for future related research. Finally

the BECCS technology application of typical straw burning biomass fuel power plant in Heilongjiang province was taken as an example

and the emission reduction potential and environmental impact of the technology application were evaluated by using the full life cycle method. The results show that

the BECCS technology can achieve negative carbon emissions of 1.55～1.58 kg/(kW·h)

and its emission reduction potential is greatly affected by the mode of biomass transport. In conclusion

the application of the BECCS technology in China's thermal power sector can be regarded as an early opportunity for the development of the BECCS technology in China.
