Several Energy and Climate Change future scenarios identify 'Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage'- (BECCS) as a significant enabler of the move towards a low carbon economy. This reflects the ability of these two technologies in combination, to effectively remove large amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere whilst at the same time, providing heat, power and liquid biofuels, leading to the concept of 'carbon negative energy' (IPCC, 2013). National UK assessments such as CCC (CCC, 2011) and the Energy White paper (DECC, 2011) and indeed, within the global IPCC assessment (IPCC, 2013), identify BECCS as having a central role in decarbonisation strategies. Although this is an attractive option, there remain significant technical barriers to deployment and to date, no consideration has been made of the impacts of wide-scale deployment on natural capital and ecosystem services. At the same time, the UK Natural Capital Committee (NEA, 2014) is recommending that Government endorses a long-term plan to maintain and improve natural capital and that natural capital should be incorporated into generational planning of UK infrastructure. Carbon stocks (soils), wildlife (biodiversity) and water resources have been identified as natural capital that is significantly threatened at present and that without careful consideration in future, may lead to the loss of considerable benefits that flow from this natural capital, including food, energy and climate regulation. It has also been recognised that these assets have a significant spatial dimension in the UK (Bateman et al., 2013) and elsewhere and this spatiality must be considered in any future policy developments, including consumption-based metrics that reflect the full impact of our global footprint, here in the delivery of a low carbon economy for the UK. The aim of this PhD is to bring together thinking from the energy and natural capital evaluation approaches, using the considerable number of tools emerging from NEA and elsewhere (including ADVENT and UKERC Pathways Theme) and to develop a framework to understand the likely implications of BECCS for the UK and more widely.

几个能源和气候变化的未来情景确定“生物能源与碳捕集和生物质能”（BECCS）作为迈向低碳经济的重要推动力。这反映了这两种技术相结合的能力，有效地从大气中去除大量的二氧化碳，同时提供热量，电力和液体生物燃料，从而产生了“碳负能量”的概念（IPCC，2013）。英国国家评估，如CCC（CCC，2011）和能源白色文件（DECC，2011），实际上，在全球IPCC评估（IPCC，2013）中，将BECCS确定为在脱碳战略中发挥核心作用。虽然这是一个有吸引力的选择，但部署仍然存在重大技术障碍，迄今为止，尚未考虑大规模部署对自然资本和生态系统服务的影响。与此同时，英国自然资本委员会（NEA，2014）建议政府批准一项长期计划，以维持和改善自然资本，并将自然资本纳入英国基础设施的代际规划。碳储存（土壤）、野生生物（生物多样性）和水资源已被确定为目前受到严重威胁的自然资本，如果今后不加以认真考虑，可能导致丧失来自这一自然资本的大量利益，包括粮食、能源和气候调节。人们还认识到，这些资产在英国具有重要的空间维度（Bateman等人，2013年）和其他地方，这种空间性必须在未来的任何政策制定中加以考虑，包括反映我们全球足迹的全面影响的基于消费的指标，在为英国提供低碳经济方面。该博士学位的目的是汇集能源和自然资本评估方法的思想，使用NEA和其他地方（包括ADVENT和UKERC途径主题）出现的大量工具，并制定一个框架，以了解BECCS对英国和更广泛的可能影响。
