Rising CO₂ emissions and better air quality - how do they go together? For years, the world has been facing an ever-increasing challenge: CO₂ emissions are rising and climate change is progressing. Carbon capture technologies can be a key to a more sustainable future. They take CO₂ out of the air and, in addition to the environmental benefits, can also offer many economic benefits.
Carbon capture technologies: Carbon Capture Utilization (CCU), Carbon Capture Storage (CCS) and Direct Air Capture (DAC)
When it comes to carbon capture technologies, a distinction is made between carbon capture utilization (CCU), carbon capture storage (CCS) and direct air capture (DAC). While in carbon capture-utilization technologies, the CO₂ is reused in a utilization process, the storage of carbon in carbon capture storage is the key difference. With direct air capture technologies, unlike CCU and CCS, the CO₂ is extracted directly from the atmospheric air and either transferred to a process or stored.
You can find a better overview of the processes in our inspirational article on the topic Carbon Capture und Direct Air Capture: Wir holen das CO2 from the air.
Benefits of carbon capture technologies
The benefits of carbon capture technologies are obvious, especially in terms of sustainability. However, these technologies can also bring some economic benefits.
- Reduction of CO₂ emissions
- Improvement of air quality
- Promotion of a circular economy
- Potential for cost savings
- Increasing competitiveness
