Why We Need the CO₂ Transition

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is vital for life and many industries, yet excessive amounts in our atmosphere pose a significant climate problem. The "CO₂ transition" describes a fundamental shift in how we release, use and remove carbon. Direct Air Capture (DAC) is a key technology supporting this transition by removing existing CO₂ from the air and transforming it into a valuable resource.

Turning CO₂ supply and energy costs into a strategic advantage for UK greenhouses

UK growers face a complex set of challenges from weaknesses in their two most critical inputs: energy and CO₂. Together, these challenges threaten grower profitability and operational stability.

How to improve crop yields in controlled environment systems with Direct Air Capture

In today's competitive agricultural landscape, growers in controlled environments are constantly seeking ways to increase crop productivity and maximize greenhouse yield while keeping operational costs low. While CEA enables consistent, year-round production, its reliance on artificial inputs can also drive high energy costs.

Canada 2.0 for carbon removal

Prime Minister Mark Carney, sworn in on March 14, 2025, entered office promising to swap “sticks” for “carrots” in federal climate policy. Since then, his government has scrapped two high-profile taxes and introduced a package of new incentives. If these are passed in this fall’s Budget 2025, Canada could take a global lead in carbon dioxide removal (CDR) policy.

Climate neutrality: Impact of Net Zero Act and Direct Air Capture

The Net Zero Act is a crucial law that is a part of the Green Deal Industrial Plan and was approved by the EU Parliament this year. It aims to reach climate neutrality by cutting greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by a target year, often 2050.

CO₂ Supply Shortage: Unpacking the Crisis and Exploring Potential Solutions

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) has a marketing problem. Everyone knows we have too much of it in the atmosphere but it also has a number of uses in everyday society. Currently the US Southeast is readying to cope with or already in the throes of an acute CO₂ shortage, exacerbated by the temporary shutdown of a plant critical to the CO₂ supply in the region. The Hopewell plant in Virginia is scheduled to undergo maintenance from late September, potentially causing a massive impact on CO₂ supply for up to eight weeks.

Commercial Success of CO₂ Direct Air Capture Technology Will Hinge on Reutilization

Driven in large part by a string of significant news headlines, enthusiasm for Direct Air Capture technology has seemingly exploded in just the past few months.
