Decarbonization Avenue : C2V - CO2 to Value

Challenges

Challenges in business models for CO2 sources

Large CO2 emitters such as power companies may be looking to enter into contracts to sell CO2 that are as long as the remaining useful life of the power plant, which could be as long as 25 years or even longer, while companies wishing to convert the CO2 to value may be looking at much shorter time horizons - perhaps 10 years, if they are startups. Such a conflict in business model timelines can be a challenge while trying to arrive at partnerships and collaborations.
