DAC process development

PtX Lab Study | 11/2024 | Topic: Direct Air Capture | 75 Pages

Global warming is a key challenge that Germany and the EU want to tackle with the goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050.

A greenhouse gas-neutral energy sector is crucial to this, with renewable energies requiring greater flexibility in generation and use. Sector coupling – particularly between the electricity and transport sectors – can be achieved through power-to-X technologies. This involves producing green hydrogen and processing it together with CO₂ into synthetic fuels.

One climate-friendly source of CO₂ is the direct air capture (DAC) process, which extracts CO₂ directly from the air. The aim of the DAC-Tape project is to pave the way for a large-scale, scalable DAC system with an annual capacity of at least 63,000 tonnes of CO₂.
