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. That is why we are working on modular direct air capture technologies for maximum flexibility directly at the user's premises.
Carbon capture technologies: Carbon Capture Utilization (CCU), Carbon Capture Storage (CCS) and Direct Air Capture (DAC)
Carbon capture technologies are divided into 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 is the key difference in carbon capture storage. 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 "Carbon capture and direct air capture: we take CO2 out of 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
Filtration expertise for carbon capture technologies
As an international filtration specialist and manufacturer, we at Hengst Filtration see it as our duty to use our knowledge and experience to develop new, pioneering technologies. We have been developing innovative and sustainable filtration technologies and filtration systems for years in order to shape a cleaner, greener and economically strong future together - in line with our corporate vision of "purifying our planet".
We are therefore proud to present the first CCU/DAC system for capturing CO2 from the air and subsequently utilizing the carbon. This system concept has a modular design and can be used decentrally directly on the user's premises. This eliminates, for example, the time-consuming and expensive transportation of liquid CO2 .
Furthermore, our technology does not require any valuable water resources. In fact, it can even have a water-positive effect and, in addition to CO2, can also provide water as a by-product from the air.
We would now like to further develop this direct air capture system with partners from industry in an application-oriented manner.
Would you like to talk to us about carbon capture technologies or work with us as a partner to advance these technologies?
