In 2018, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) indicated that CO2 removal is necessary to limit global warming to 1.5 \u00b0C. Furthermore, it specifies that the world will need to remove an estimated 100 – 1,000 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide from the air. Specifically, this can be done through carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technology this century. This has led to companies investing tens of millions of US dollars into direct air capture (DAC) technology.<\/span>3<\/sup><\/a><\/span> Therefore, t<\/span>he amount of money invested into CCUS technology is likely to grow from USD $1.6 billion in 2020 to USD $3.5 billion by 2025.<\/span>4<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What is carbon capture?<\/h2>\n

In January 2021, when Elon Musk announced a USD $100 million prize for the best carbon capture technology<\/a>, he set off a storm. Unsurprisingly, the prize spurred new interest in this growing field of interest.<\/span>5<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies look at trapping carbon dioxide from the air. Then, companies extract the carbon and use it for products or store it underground. Currently, most CCUS technology in factories traps carbon before emission. Other forms of carbon capture, such as direct air capture (DAC), focus on removing carbon directly from the air.<\/span>6<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Trapping carbon at power plants is projected to be the fastest-growing segment in the CCUS market, according to some analysts<\/a>.<\/span>7<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

How do private and publicly traded carbon capture companies differ?<\/h2>\n

Currently, most publicly traded companies that invest in carbon capture<\/a> technology are fossil fuel companies. Companies including Chevron, Royal Dutch Shell and NRG Energy all have active CCUS pilot projects underway.<\/span>8<\/sup><\/a><\/span> If you want to invest in carbon capture without buying fossil fuel shares, you will have to wait. Many new start-ups in this space, such as Global Thermostat, Carbon Engineering, CO2 Solutions and Climeworks, are not publicly listed yet. However, they are tipped as the ones to watch.<\/span>9<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That said, several critics of CCUS technology<\/a> fear that it will never be commercially viable enough to impact carbon emissions. Instead, they say that it is better to invest in renewable energy or decarbonization.<\/span>10<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
