Indoor farming
Natural gas consumption of the indoor farming industry must be reduced, which means that new sources of CO₂ are needed. The CO₂ injection from DAC is automated by the climate control system of an indoor farm, resulting in less wasted CO₂ , and using smarter dosing.
- A stable source of pure CO₂
- No dependence on external CO₂ suppliers
- On-demand and remote-controlled production
Chemicals
CO₂ captured with DAC can, together with green hydrogen, be converted into various chemicals, one promising example is Methanol.
- The use of Methanol can play a crucial role in decarbonizing various industries, since it can be produced using renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power.
- Currently, Methanol is produced using fossil resources, such as natural gas and coal (gasification).
- Methanol can be used as a low-carbon fuel in transportation and as feedstock in the production of many chemicals and materials (such as plastics), reducing the reliance on fossil fuels.
E-fuels
Captured CO₂ by DAC in combination with green hydrogen can be used to produce e-fuels (synthetic fuels). The role of e-fuels in the aviation sector is estimated to be large. The EU set blending targets for industry, moving up to 28% in 2050. The decarbonization options for long-haul aviation are limited, therefore, e-fuels provide the opportunity to reduce up to 90% of greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional fossil-based aviation fuels.
