Carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) is necessary to reduce industrial CO₂ emissions but current capacity is minimal and costly, requiring significant investment and renewable energy integration. Complementary carbon dioxide removal (CDR) methods like direct air capture and carbon mineralisation are critical to address legacy emissions and are essential alongside industrial decarbonisation efforts.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Carbon Tech and Climate Tech.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
The financing gap and scaling difficulty of carbon capture facilities is a clear opening for founders in climate tech to innovate affordable, scalable capture or removal technologies. You can tap urgent industrial demand and regulatory pressure as direct air capture and mineralisation methods gain traction beyond CCUS bottlenecks.
