Tecnologías de almacenamiento, reducción y reutilización de CO2
News / 11-06-2024Last week, C-SINK featured in Spanish newspaper, La Nueva Crónica. The article outlines C-SINK’s primary objectives and summarises each technology focused on within the project. Read a snippet below and click the links to access the full article.
On 23rd November, the Earth’s temperature reached a historic milestone by exceeding 2°C above pre-industrial levels, according to the Copernicus Climate Change Monitoring Service. This worrying increase underscores the urgency of implementing effective measures to combat global warming. In response to this growing threat, an international coalition has launched the Carbon Management Initiative, with the ambitious goal of collectively storing 1.2 gigatonnes of CO2 by 2030. This global effort brings together the European Union, China, the United States, Canada and Brazil, backed by the United Nations Environment Programme and the International Energy Agency.
Within this context, C-SINK arises, “Actions necessary to ensure the large-scale deployment of the main approaches for carbon dioxide removal to meet the climate objectives of the European Union”, a project funded by the European Union through the Horizon Europe programme which, coordinated by the ICAMCYL Foundation, seeks to coordinate efforts to find the most efficient technologies to eliminate atmospheric CO2 at scale. The idea of the project is synergistic with Europe’s new efforts to create resilient industrial innovation ecosystems that tend towards an effective “zero emissions” policy
