Direct air capture (DAC) is a cutting-edge technology designed to remove CO 2 directly from the air. This process involves the use of special systems that extract carbon dioxide from the ambient air using absorbent materials. Measurement technology plays a key role because precise sensors and analytical instruments monitor the success of the carbon capture process. By taking continuous measurements, efficiency gains and optimizations can be made in real time. This means that DAC is an effective and sustainable method for reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) requires state-of-the-art sensors to quantify the success of the absorption process as part of carbon capture within the process. Flowmeters are used to measure the volume of carbon captured. In order to ensure the purity of the carbon captured, gas analyzers to measure the residual moisture and the CO 2 concentration are used. Moreover, pressure and temperature sensors are vital for monitoring conditions during transportation and storage.
Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) is the downstream process of using the captured CO 2 . For example, with the addition of green hydrogen, carbon captured from the DAC process can be used to produce green methanol. This application also requires precise measuring technology to make processes as efficient as possible. Temperature sensors are used to monitor the optimal temperature conditions for the CCU reaction. In addition, flowmeters (which monitor the CO 2 flow) and gas analyzers (which monitor the process) are required in various applications to use CO 2 as a raw material.
