Carbon Credits Explained - Biochar, DAC, and BECCS

Carbon dioxide removal has an important role to play in climate strategies for businesses and governments alike. This new IDTechEx article explores three key carbon dioxide removal technologies.

Direct Air Capture: Reaching a Capture Cost of US$100/Tonne of CO₂

Direct air capture (DAC) could play an essential role in meeting global net-zero targets by addressing residual and legacy CO₂ emissions. However, capture costs are currently too high. This IDTechEx article explores pathways to lower-cost DAC.

Durable CO₂ Removal Carbon Credit Markets Reach US$14 Billion in 2035

With record-breaking carbon credit sales in 2024 and increasing overlap of voluntary and compliance carbon markets, the business case for carbon dioxide removal is growing stronger. IDTechEx forecasts the carbon credit market revenue from durable, engineered carbon dioxide removal technologies will exceed US$14 billion in 2035.

Market Trends in CCUS: How Will the Next Decade Shape Carbon Capture?

Across the globe, over 140 countries have set a net-zero target, with many committed to reaching net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050. This Herculean task will require many emission reduction technologies in tandem - and the groundwork must be laid now. CCUS (carbon capture, utilization, and storage) solutions have been identified as one such vital tool with the ability to decarbonize existing industry assets.
