A New Dawn for CCUS After Five Decades of Ups and Downs
The world is on a quest for solutions to decarbonize its economy. More than 70 countries and over 1,200 companies have set a net-zero target, according to the United Nations. To limit warming to less than 2°C, emissions of hundreds of gigatonnes of carbon dioxide (CO₂) would need to be prevented and removed from the atmosphere.

Carbon Engineering
repeatable, optimizable parts combined with economies of scale.
CE is exploring multiple market verticals: CO{\2} utilization for enhanced oil recovery and for making e-fuels, as well as CO{\2} removal credits. This has allowed the company to make diverse partnerships and secure more large-scale projects than any other company in the DAC space.
DAC in general presents benefits compared to other carbon removal approaches, such as few practical limits on scaling, relatively little land area use, and siting flexibility.
Supported by leading investors in the climate and energy space, government agencies, and three of the world's largest energy companies — Occidental, BHP, and Chevron.
Carbon Engineering DAC carbon removals present superior indicators such as additionality, permanence, efficient land use, and monitoring and verification, compared to other carbon dioxide removal (CDR) solutions such as reforestation/afforestation credits.
