Tech Talk: Direct Air Capture (DAC)

Direct air capture (DAC) of CO2 is key to reaching the net negative CO2 emission goal. The successful deployment of DAC technologies highly depends on the availability of multiple other factors, such as carbon sequestration or utilization options, and to fully realize the climate benefits of DAC, DAC should be integrated into a low carbon energy system.

The Large Scale Integration of Carbon Capture in Energy Systems will assess technology and economy issues for carbon capture deployment and scenarios for a decarbonized energy system in Denmark in 2045, where the need for carbon capture is assessed and related to an assessment of the amount of CO2 that potentially can be captured, discussing the feasibility and comparing the strategies of carbon capture through point source capture and through direct air capture.

Watch a presentation of:

1. The analyse of state of technology of carbon capture.
2. The result from GIS analyses of carbon capture in the energy system.
3. The preliminary assessment of the energy system impact of carbon capture.
4. The role and importance of DAC when it comes to CCU.
5. The assessment of Economic impacts of carbon capture technologies in the energy system.

e-DAC will present the preliminary guidelines for stakeholders across the entire value chain, covering both technology and SSH aspects by assessing technology, economy, business models, and regulatory issues for DAC deployment, consolidated into recommendations for how DAC can efficiently be system integrated. The project will therefore ensure proper deployment of direct air capture technology and ensure that DAC-PtX solutions are developed in a way that ensures successful integration in an optimum way.

Watch a presentation of:

1. The model for thermodynamics of DAC processes.
2. The analysis of the energy system impacts.
3. The results from the Investigation of the social acceptance and economic consequences of direct air capture.
