New options for carbon removal
Absorption mechanism and adsorption/desorption function
To achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, we cannot achieve it by simply reducing CO₂ emissions. We must also remove the CO₂ that is inevitably generated in the end from the atmosphere, achieving net zero.
However, while there are a variety of methods for reducing CO₂ , large and small, until now, CO₂ removal methods have only had two options: making a large capital investment to remove CO₂ in large quantities using plant equipment, or taking the time to remove it through afforestation.
We aim to create a society where anyone can take part in carbon removal by providing a method for capturing CO₂ using plastic , a method that uses DAC Plastic®, as a carbon removal method that can be undertaken by individuals and small and medium-sized enterprises.
Adding new value to plastics and creating new markets
The carbon removal market is a noteworthy market that is expected to grow rapidly at over 30% per year. However, the market size is still small and is similar to the plant equipment industry. Meanwhile, the plastics market is huge, at around $600 billion, but growth has been slowing.
We will create a new carbon removal plastics market between this carbon removal market and the plastics market.
Plastic is no longer seen as a villain; it can be transformed into a new material with environmental added value.
CO2 circulation in everyday life
The goal of the DACPla® initiative is not to fix CO2. If we continue with the current system of mass consumption and incineration, the fixed CO2 will be burned and returned to the atmosphere.
This is where CCUS (carbon capture and utilization) from exhaust gases, which is being introduced by other research institutes and companies, comes in handy. CCUS requires renewable energy and hydrogen to balance costs and carbon balance, so it must be large-scale. This is why investment costs and increased awareness have prevented the system from being widely adopted.
By connecting DACPla® to this CCUS system, the CO2 in the atmosphere fixed by DACPla® and the CO2 from exhaust gases are collected and circulated.
This will not only allow anyone to easily capture CO2 from the atmosphere without using energy, but will also lead to more efficient CO2 capture and circulation systems from exhaust gases and increased awareness of the initiative, creating a win-win situation.
This plan will not be realized until after 2030. To ensure a smooth transition to this system, we need to start preparations now, reduce CO2 in the atmosphere as much as possible while using DACPla®, and buy ourselves time. This is also one of the values of DACPla®.
