CCUS

Carbon capture and utilisation encompasses the capture of process CO₂ emissions or resident atmospheric CO₂ and its conversion into useful products whereby the onus is on carbon-neutral capture and conversion technologies, favouring applications that maximize the displacement of fossil fuels and achieving circularity, meaning the CO₂ utilised can be re-used at the end of the life cycle of the first product into a new product, avoiding its release into the atmosphere, becoming recycled carbon and contributing to further fossil displacement.

Carbon capture and storage encompasses the capture of process CO₂ emissions or resident atmospheric CO₂ and its subsequent removal from atmospheric CO₂ through geospheric storage. Captured CO₂ can also be permanently captured and sequestered through carbon mineralisation to form a solid carbonate with a range of applications in the built environment, eg aggregate and concrete.

 Conferences

CCU and CCS is highlighted at Bio360 Expo 2023 across a two-day international dedicated conference progamme.

Buildings are currently responsible for 39% of global energy related carbon emissions: 28% from operational emissions, from energy needed to heat, cool and power them, and the remaining 11% from materials and construction.* CCU can contribute significantly to the drive to defossilising the built environment and to act as a permanent store of atmopsheric CO₂.

Here from Neustark, Vicat and Voltigital all pioneers in CO₂  mineralisation, CO₂ embeded building aggregates and concrete.
