RepAir Carbon US and C-Questra have signed a strategic partnership to develop the European Union’s first onshore Direct Air Capture and Storage (DACS) project in France.
The project, at Grandpuits near Paris, marks the first onshore Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) project of its kind in the EU, eliminating the need for expensive midstream and offshore infrastructure.
It also uses a heat-free, ultra-modular electrochemical technology, provided by RepAir, which reduces energy consumption by 70% compared with conventional DAC solutions by relying solely on electricity.
Conventional DAC solutions face criticism for their high energy consumption, resulting in prohibitive cost at scale. Additionally, these systems rely on solvents and sorbents that require regular replacement and introduce potential health and safety risks.
