About
RWE is a major German energy utility (~20,000 employees globally) developing BECCUS at its Dutch Amer (Geertruidenberg) and Eemshaven biomass-fired power plants. The company plans to deliver 11–14 Mt/yr of negative emissions from 2030, with captured biogenic CO2 to be permanently stored under the North Sea, subject to technical and economic feasibility. Electricity generation remains RWE’s core business; BECCUS is an add-on to existing biomass power operations.
