Gray et al. (2024): The role of direct air carbon capture in decarbonising aviation

Nathan Gray, Richard O’Shea, Beatrice Smyth, Piet N.L. Lens, Jerry D. Murphy IN: Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 199, 114552; https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2024.114552

This study compares two use cases of direct air carbon capture to decarbonise aviation, from an economic and environmental perspective. The first is where continued use of fossil jet fuel is offset by capturing and sequestering CO2 from the atmosphere. The second is where CO2 captured from the atmosphere is used as a feedstock, in conjunction with hydrogen from electrolysis, to produce a synthetic jet fuel.
