Limits to Paris compatibility of CO2 capture and utilization

Kiane de Kleijne et al.

Summary: This study investigates the compatibility of CCU technologies with the temperature goals of the Paris Agreement. Based on life cycle emissions and technological maturity criteria, it analyzes the usage of CCU technologies using atmospheric, biogenic, or fossil CO2. The findings suggest that CCU technologies with technology readiness levels (TRLs) of 6 or higher can be Paris compatible in 2030 for certain industries, while only products storing CO2 permanently or produced from zero-emissions energy can be Paris compatible in 2050.
