# What are carbon removal methods? 1. Nature-based solutions in Carbon Removal Methods. As the global efforts to combat climate change intensify, carbon dioxide removal (CDR) methods and projects are diversifying, spanning from harnessing the power of natural ecosystems to employing cutting-edge carbon engineering solutions that are in line with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Understanding different CDR methods and how they span across the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) is pivotal to shaping effective climate action plans in the race to reach net-zero emissions. At ClimateSeed, we maximize positive environmental and social impacts by providing climate solutions to support meaningful carbon removal projects, leveraging the pivotal and necessary financing mechanisms of the VCM. ## **Nature-based Solutions in Carbon Removal Methods**. Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are projects that leverage natural processes —such as photosynthesis or soil carbon sequestration— to remove and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Our Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology does this by pulling in atmospheric air, then through a series of chemical reactions, extracts the carbon dioxide (CO2) from it while returning the rest of the air to the environment. ### Our Direct Air Capture technology has been designed to continuously capture CO2 from atmospheric air and deliver it as a gas for use or storage, bringing together four major pieces of equipment that each have industrial precedent. CE’s Direct Air Capture process, showing the major unit operations - air contactor, pellet reactor, slaker, and calciner - which collectively capture, purify, and compress atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub>.

AIR TO FUELS™ plants combine CE’s Direct Air Capture technology with hydrogen generation and fuel synthesis capabilities to deliver low carbon intensity synthetic fuel.
* Carbon capture, use, and storage technologies can capture more than 90 percent of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from power plants and industrial facilities. This natural gas processing plant serves ExxonMobil, Chevron, and Anadarko Petroleum carbon dioxide pipeline systems to oil fields in Wyoming and Colorado and is the largest commercial carbon capture facility in the world at 7 million tons of capacity annually. The first ethanol plant to deploy carbon capture, it supplies 170,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year to Chaparral Energy, which uses it for EOR in Texas oil fields. Carbon dioxide from a gas processing plant owned by DTE Energy is captured at a rate of approximately 1,000 tons per day and injected into a nearby oil field operated by Core Energy in the Northern Reef Trend of the Michigan Basin. This project involves capturing carbon dioxide from natural gas processing for use in enhanced oil recovery in the Lula and Sapinhoá oil fields.
Different options to try to reduce overall CO2 emissions are being investigated, but the main way to reduce CO2 emissions from large industrial sources is called carbon capture and storage, or CCS. CO2 can be captured from large sources, such as power plants, natural gas processing facilities and some industrial processes. Thus even though CCS would increase the cost of electricity from a biomass power plant, customers would know that electricity produced there would actually be reducing the CO2 content of the atmosphere, making this technology particularly attractive. The concept is to capture CO2 produced by burning coal in power stations, compress it, pipe it away from the plant and then store it deep underground. Most co-firing power plants burn solid biomass like wood and agricultural waste along with coal, but some can burn a mix of natural gas and biogas. A fossil-fuel power plant is one that burns fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas or petroleum (oil) to produce electricity.
In this work, a comprehensive techno-economic comparison based on systematic process design of CO 2 capture technologies from the air is performed.
