Background & Context
What is DACStorE?
DACStorE is a collaborative project funded by the Helmholtz Association that investigates technologies for capturing CO2 directly from the air and storing it in geological formations. Research and industry are jointly developing scalable solutions for a climate-neutral industry, including technically, economically, and socially viable DAC processes as well as materials and process research.
What is the Transformation Hub?
The Hub is the interface between science and application. Together with all partners, we create a space where ideas can develop into innovations. Our goal is to pool know-how, reduce barriers, and accelerate the market introduction of climate-relevant technologies.
