Biogenic Carbon capture through SCWO - understanding geographical locations of feedstock and their relation to CCS facilities.

联合国通过其2020-2030年“行动十年”强调了迫切需要：1)降低大气中的二氧化碳水平，以避免对气候造成严重影响；2)提高社会各领域材料的可持续性和重复利用。有机材料（生物和合成）和废物具有支持这一挑战的巨大潜力。结合碳和无机材料（如磷酸盐）的有机材料对全球供应链至关重要，从我们吃的食物和我们服用的药物，到工业化学品和燃料。虽然这些材料对全球经济至关重要，但许多都是短命的，其废物占全球二氧化碳排放量的10%和甲烷排放量的20%，其中营养物质和制药副产品等成分造成的环境污染程度日益严重（例如，合成激素和富营养化磷酸盐造成的水污染）。随着全球人口的持续增长，对这些材料的需求只会增加，相关的环境影响也会增加。至关重要的是确保有效生产这些材料所需的原料供应，例如生产肥料所必需的磷酸盐，由于密集使用，已成为全球耗尽的资源，超过了供应高峰。DTC已经确定了一个重要的机会，利用其最先进的技术，从这些材料中提取碳进行千年储存，同时破坏所有相关污染物，并回收无机元素（如磷）进行循环利用。DTC的技术可以实现这一点，同时从过程反应中产生自己的能量，使其能量中性，不需要任何化学输入。这意味着它可以在全球范围内部署，而不像直接空气捕获（DAC）技术那样局限于可再生能源水平高的地区。通过以一种可以安全储存数千年的形式从有机物质中提取所有碳，DTC也提供了比生物基方法（如造林）更重要的优势，在这种方法中，气候变化、害虫和树木寿命等事件使地面上储存的碳容易重新释放。为了充分利用其技术的全球潜力，DTC需要了解生产这些有机材料的行业和公司的复杂全球网络，并将其与潜在的CCS地点联系起来。该项目将使DTC能够与Isle Utilities的专家合作，了解这个复杂的市场，并吸引关键利益相关者。这将直接支持DTC的发展和规模规划。

The UN through its 2020-2030 "decade of action" has highlighted desperate need to 1) reduce levels of CO2 in the atmosphere to avoid serious impacts on climate, 2) improve sustainability and reuse of materials across all areas of society. Organic materials (biological and synthetic) and wastes have huge potential to support this challenge. Organic materials combining carbon and inorganic materials (e.g., phosphates) are vital for global supply chains from the food we eat and the medicines we take, through to industrial chemicals and fuels.While these materials are vital to the global economy, many are short-lived and their wastes contributed to ~10% of global CO2 emissions and 20% of methane, with components such as nutrients and pharmaceutical by-products causing increasing levels of environmental pollution (e.g., water pollution from synthetic hormones and eutrophication phosphates). As the global population continues to grow the need for these materials will only increase as will the associated environmental impacts. It is vital is to secure the supply of feedstocks required to efficiently produce such materials e.g., phosphates which are essential to produce fertilisers, and, due to intensive use, are a globally depleted resource past peak supply.DTC has identified an important opportunity using its state-of-the-art technology to extract the carbon from these materials for millennial storage while destroying all associated pollutants and recovering inorganic elements (e.g., phosphorous) for recycling. DTC's technology can achieve this while generating its own energy from the process reactions making it energy neutral and without any chemical inputs. This means it can be deployed globally and is not restricted to areas with high levels of renewable energy unlike direct air capture (DAC) technologies. By extracting all the carbon from organic matters in a form that can be stored safely for millennia DTC also offers an important advantage over biobased approaches such as forestation where events such as climate change, pests and tree lifespan make the above ground stored carbon vulnerable to re-release.To fully leverage the global potential of its technology DTC needs to understand the complex global network of industries and companies that produce these organic materials and relate this to potential CCS locations. This project will enable DTC to work with experts at Isle Utilities to understand this complex market and engage key stakeholders.; This will directly support DTC's development and scaling planning.
