At the founder level, we're very excited by the concept of Carbon Capture and Storage. So we'd love to be the ones to demystify Carbon Capture and Storage for you: As we grapple with the challenges of climate change, one technology stands out for its potential to make a significant impact - Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). Let's dive into the basics of this promising technology: What is Carbon Capture and Storage? CCS is a process that captures carbon dioxide emissions produced from the use of fossil fuels in electricity generation and industrial processes, preventing CO2 from entering the atmosphere. The captured CO2 is then transported and stored deep underground in geological formations. This technology is crucial in our transition to a sustainable future as it allows us to mitigate the environmental impact while transitioning to renewable energy sources. The Role of CCS in Achieving Net-Zero Emissions CCS is vital for industries that are hard to decarbonize, such as cement and steel production. It's also crucial for achieving negative emissions through Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS), where biomass is used to generate energy, and the resulting emissions are captured and stored. In conclusion, CCS is not a standalone solution but a critical component in the array of strategies needed to combat climate change. By investing and innovating in CCS, we can pave the way towards a more sustainable and carbon-neutral future. #ClimateChange #Sustainability #CarbonCapture #Innovation #CleanEnergy

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗟𝗜𝗠𝗘 𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗨𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗬 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗤𝗨𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗦𝗨𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗕𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬  The lime industry plays a crucial role in our society, making it imperative for the sector to embrace emerging technologies, particularly those associated with digitization, fuel efficiency, and energy conservation, including better control over raw materials, aligning with the ambitious goal of significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Transitioning towards renewable fuels, such as biomass-derived alternatives rather than relying on fossil fuels, marks the initial stride along the "new path." This shift represents a tangible opportunity to address the escalating levels of atmospheric CO2, presenting a real chance to move towards a cleaner, more resilient energy system with a sustainable, long-term perspective.

🌿 Carbon credits: Key to unleashing sustainable fuels 🌿 According to the report "The Role of Carbon Credits in Scaling Up Innovative Clean Energy Technologies” published by International Energy Agency (IEA) and GenZero, annual investment in low-emission hydrogen, hydrogen-based fuels, and SAF should be at US$ 260 billion by 2030 to reach the 2050 Net Zero scenario. As this is a challenging goal, carbon credits arise as an attractive bridge to close the investment gap, as these projects are eligible for high-quality carbon credit generation. To achieve this, more crediting methodologies need to be developed. Below, you’ll find a list of them, classified by status: ✅ Active AM0124: Hydrogen production from electrolysis of water 🔧 Under development Alternative low-carbon fuels in shipping Hydrogen in transport Hydrogen for Net Zero Initiative: Developing several methodologies which are the first to consider life cycle emissions Sources: https://lnkd.in/e5c-gZ3b https://lnkd.in/dTtHFb7E https://lnkd.in/eU2eRREg #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #CarbonCredits #EnergyTransition #Investment #NetZero #Hydrogen #SAF

With the current hydrogen hype in Europe, and knowing the limitations of hydrogen on production, storage and transport, it is sometimes difficult to clearly evaluate perspective for usage in various sectors. The graph below provides such global overview with short to long-term perspective.

Carbon capture technologies are emerging as a crucial element in our journey towards Net Zero. Despite global efforts, CO2 emissions peaked in 2023 and are projected to rise for decades to come. However, there's hope on the horizon: carbon capture could contribute over 8% of cumulative emission reductions by 2050, surpassing the impact of green hydrogen and other key decarbonisation strategies. Our latest blog covers the exciting developments unfolding in this space, from innovative solvents to direct air capture breakthroughs.
