Description (excerpt):
Commercial and climate imperatives for integrating carbon removal activities into existing industrial processes and value chains are becoming ever more apparent. Opportunities to integrate carbon removal can help businesses grow and diversify, increase operational efficiencies, and adhere to evolving regulations. Simultaneously, climate stabilization demands rapid, large-scale carbon removal, positioning established industries as vital contributors. Forward-thinking industry leaders are beginning to strategically invest in a variety of carbon removal methods that align with their operational capabilities.
This series explores the economic and environmental incentives for integrating carbon removal into the wider industrial landscape. Through this series, we examine the potential for carbon removal integration into specific industries, identifying synergies with existing processes, along with the challenges, potential scale, and critical needs to advance opportunities. This report assesses the potential to integrate carbon removal and storage technologies into desalination activities.
