LCA
- Life cycle assessment of the DAC2.0 system which includes the impacts from cradle, i.e. production of MOFs, electricity, heat, and other inputs, to grave, i.e. disposal of the system;
- The goal is to ensure that the DAC2.0 system decreases the impacts on climate change and to identify hotspots for further improvements;
- The WP also ensures that other areas of environmental concern are not overburdened.
Energy System Modelling
- Energy system analyses focus the role of DAC for carbon utilisation, and long-term carbon storage for a 1.5°C compliant energy transition
- Main aims are the identification of
- phase-in trajectories of DAC
- interaction with other CO2 raw material sources
- net-negative CO2 emission technologies
- volumes of DAC required
- Special focus for negative CO2 emission technologies will be DAC, bioenergy, and afforestation
