Less ‘magic bullet’, more ‘magic bean’ for sustainable flight, says UK-based data analytics firm, GlobalData Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has been posited as the latest technology to support the growing demand for sustainable flight, with the ongoing development of the Direct Air Capture project, jointly led by UK and Canadian companies Storegga and Carbon Engineering, respectively. CCS involves the capture CO2 before it enters the atmosphere, typically at large source points such as power stations or heavy industry including steel plants. This is then stored either in rock formations to significantly slow its release into the atmosphere or, most recently, the captured CO2 can be transformed into liquid fuels, creating a less harmful circular economy.
