PLASTICS & CHEMICALS

Fossil fuels composed of carbon (“C”) and hydrogen (“H”) molecules form the backbone of the chemical industry. Several chemicals – including polyurethanes, and polyethylene, and polypropylene – are comprised of CO₂‘s components, via either CO (carbon monoxide), or methanol (CH₃OH). Transitioning from fossil fuels to DAC-sourced CO₂ production could create 100s of millions of tonnes of CO₂ demand annually.
