What are the environmental impacts of CO₂ capture, transport and storage?
In order for CCS to contribute to our net-zero goals, its value chain must store more CO₂ emissions than it creates. To investigate this, PhD candidate Johannes Burger has conducted a life cycle assessment on four European CCS value chains that are being focused on in ACCSESS: two cement plants, a pulp-and-paper plant, and a waste-to-energy plant.
Are plants the key to succeeding with carbon dioxide removal?
Plants capture CO2 naturally through photosynthesis. When those plants decay or are burned, the CO2 is released back into the atmosphere. However, if we capture and permanently store those CO2 emissions, we can actually remove CO2 from the atmosphere. This is known as carbon dioxide removal – or CDR.
