Uses for captured carbon
In the energy sector, captured CO2 can be transformed into raw material for chemical products and new materials and could generate a wide range of opportunities: from polymer synthesis and synthetic fuel production to its incorporation into construction materials. These new products and applications have a common element: the need to drive innovation so that costs can be reduced and to guarantee that critical emerging technologies are scaleable and marketable.
Nature-based solutions for capturing carbon
In addition to technological solutions, nature-based solutions consist of diverse natural methods that can also capture carbon. For example, with reforestation, an enormous amount of CO2 can be absorbed through photosynthesis. Soil also has a huge potential for storing carbon, with the capacity to capture an even greater amount than the atmosphere and all living plants and animals combined.
