CO2 Utilization Market to Grow To US$240 Billion by 2045

Carbon capture technologies capable of removing CO2 from industrial emissions have been around for over 50 years, but widescale deployment of CCUS (carbon capture, utilization, and storage) has been too slow for global net-zero ambitions. While governments are beginning to implement carbon pricing mechanisms or tax credits to motivate permanent storage of CO2 deep underground, a profitable business model exists beyond CO2 sequestration via emerging CO2 utilization applications.

IDTechEx Explores Business Cases for CCUS

Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) enables CO2 emissions to be captured from their source, or directly from the atmosphere. Technologies can then be used to recycle carbon dioxide into useful carbon-containing products, or the CO2 can be moved to underground storage facilities.

Reducing and Eliminating Thermal Interface Materials in EV Batteries

The key to wider adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) will be lower-cost models with a more approachable price point. The most expensive component of an EV is the battery pack. As well as increasing the energy density and reducing the cost of the battery cells, another avenue to cost reduction is through more efficient packaging of the cells.
