Webinar – Erick Danny on “An Overview of Direct Air Capture (DAC) Technologies for the Net Zero Transition”

Thursday 7 March from 3pm to 4pm

Carbon capture, use and storage (CCUS) plays a central role in supporting the transition to a low-carbon energy system: capturing industrial process emissions, acting as a source of carbon dioxide removal, and abating emissions from the use of fossil fuels. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), in its Sixth Assessment Report, stated that carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is necessary to counteract hard-to-abate emissions and achieve the Paris climate goals. This includes bioenergy combined with CCUS, natural climate solutions, and direct air carbon capture with storage.

Direct air capture (DAC) technologies extract CO2 directly from the atmosphere, for CO2 storage or utilisation. Twenty-seven DAC plants have been commissioned to date worldwide, capturing almost 0.01 Mt CO2/year. Plans for at least 130 DAC facilities are now at various stages of development. This talk will provide an overview of the different DAC systems, including early stage and mature technologies, and their limitations.
