How can carbon dioxide removal be scaled while supporting the decarbonization of heavy industry? In this webinar recording, Dr. Vittoria Bolongaro presents a life cycle assessment of calcium looping direct air capture and explores its integration into cement production.
The results show that calcium looping can remove CO₂ effectively, particularly when powered by clean energy. By combining the technology with cement manufacturing, shared materials and infrastructure could be used to reduce emissions and potentially enable net-zero or even net-negative cement production.
