Abstract:

Breathing Innovation: The Future of Direct Air Capture

Direct Air Capture is gaining global relevance as both a climate mitigation tool and a source of CO₂ for future industrial use. As a technology addressing a worldwide challenge, DAC depends on scalable engineering and international collaboration. This impulse talk explores why capturing CO₂ directly from ambient air matters, how DAC enables storage and utilization pathways, and how regional innovation from Münster contributes to global solutions.
