Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technologies trap CO2 before it can be emitted to the atmosphere, and stop it from contributing to climate change. The captured CO2 is typically sent to a safe and permanent repository, deep underground, but could potentially also be used in industrial processes that bind the carbon into materials. While there are good examples of successful and large CCUS projects around the world, the sector has to date suffered from a perception of high costs, very large public funding requirements and few incentives to radically cut emissions in sectors like cement production, refining or coal-fired power generation. Carbon Clean is an unusual player in the CCUS space: not only do its founders hail from an emerging economy like India, but they are a relative outsider compared to the major energy companies that otherwise dominate investments. In this episode, Aniruddha Sharma explains how Carbon Clean’s technology tackles the CCUS cost problem and how they aim to lower the barriers to investment for emitters at all scales. Since the recording of this episode in November 2021, Carbon Clean has gone on to raise a major fundraising round and be selected for the Global Cleantech 100 list. Whether you calculate that we need seven billion tonnes of CCUS by 2050 (as the IEA does) or less than one billion tonnes, we urgently need the conditions for companies to start making money from locking up emissions.
