- CCU can cut reliance on fossil carbon and contribute up to 15% of global emissions reductions by 2070.
- Liquid Wind applies CCU to produce fossil-free eMethanol for shipping and aviation.
- Industrial symbiosis strengthens local value chains by reusing captured emissions.
- Policy gaps and funding limitations remain major barriers to wider CCU adoption.
Liquid Wind has published a new White Paper titled “Carbon Capture and Utilisation, The Role of Bio-CCU in Reducing Carbon Emissions”, which explores the potential of CCU in building a circular, low-emission economy. The report outlines key technologies, applications, environmental benefits, and the policy frameworks influencing deployment across Europe, as highlighted by Liquid Wind.
Carbon Capture and Utilisation in the Energy Transition
The White Paper underscores the urgency of halving CO₂ emissions by 2030 and achieving net-zero by 2050, with carbon capture strategies playing a central role. It explains how CCU can transform captured emissions into valuable resources such as fuels, chemicals, and building materials, thereby reducing dependence on fossil carbon.
Liquid Wind demonstrates this approach by producing fossil-free eMethanol from biogenic CO₂, providing a scalable solution for sectors like shipping and aviation that are difficult to decarbonize. The paper also emphasizes CCU’s role in fostering industrial symbiosis, supporting local value chains, and contributing up to 15% of the reductions needed for global net-zero targets by 2070.
However, it highlights existing challenges in policy recognition, incentives, and funding, calling for stronger regulatory support to unlock the full potential of the technology.
