Abstract
Direct Air Capture is one of a class of methods called Negative Emissions Technologies, which will form part of a multifaceted approach to reaching net-zero CO2 emissions within the next few decades. However, capturing CO2 in this way is expensive, with current projects costing around €600 per tonne of CO2 captured, and is also energy and heat intensive. Using geothermal power to provide the energy requirements for Direct Air Capture, and by using leftover heat in a district heating network, can have a significant positive environmental impact, and can greatly reduce the costs involved, especially at higher reservoir temperatures.
