Qiu, Y., Lamers, P., Daioglou, V. et al. Environmental trade-offs of direct air capture technologies in climate change mitigation toward 2100
Objective:
- Calculate a prospective life-cycle assessment (LCA) of direct air carbon capture and storage (DACCS) under climate change mitigation scenarios
Case:
- US
Methodology:
- IAM: IMAGE
Data Source
- SSP
Findings:
- A rapid decarbonization of the power and energy demand sectors can increase the net sequestration efficiency of DACCS
- Solvent-based DACCS generally has lower impacts than sorbent-based DACCS
