Summary:Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) is a key element of carbon recycling and the move toward a circular carbon economy. CCU is the process of capturing and upgrading carbon dioxide and related gaseous sources of waste carbon for use in an application. CCU also includes carbon capture for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and direct air capture (DAC) of atmospheric CO2 for transformation to solid, carbon-rich products. Modular CCU approaches are necessary to capture and utilize CO2 from distributed sources. Such modular units could be easily transported and numbered up or down to suit variable production volumes. Modular technologies are also crucial to hybrid approaches, known as hub-and-spoke, in which distributed operations work in combination with a centralized station.
