By intercepting CO₂ from industrial flue gases to serve as a feedstock, it contributes to the creation of sustainable, carbon-neutral fuel. Turning emissions into a resource, this Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) approach avoids the extraction of fossil carbon, supports circularity, and helps reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. ## How Carbon Capture Works eFuel facilities developed by Liquid Wind use post-combustion carbon capture (PCC) to extract biogenic CO₂ from industrial emissions. This method uses chemical solvents to absorb CO₂ molecules from flue gases. Once saturated, the solvent is heated to release the CO₂ which is then used as a feedstock to produce [eMethanol](https://www.liquidwind.com/emethanol). This Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) approach offers several advantages. Emissions from existing industrial processes provide a steady, concentrated CO₂ stream for eMethanol production, ensuring reliable availability. By recycling CO₂ that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere, it supports a circular carbon economy. And because it delivers high CO₂ volumes from point sources, the method enables large-scale, commercially viable eMethanol production. ## Carbon Capture Strategies: CCS and CCU Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) are complementary strategies for managing carbon emissions. By intercepting CO₂ emissions from industrial processes and preventing their release into the atmosphere, carbon capture plays a critical role in decarbonisation strategies, offering a direct solution to reeduce greenhouse gas emissions. While both involve capturing CO₂, they differ in what happens to the carbon afterwards.  ## CCS Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) focuses on the permanent storage of CO₂. Once captured, it is compressed and transported to geological formations like depleted oil and gas reservoirs or deep saline aquifers, where it is stored securely and indefinitely. Because the CO₂ is removed from the atmosphere and kept out of the carbon cycle, CCS has an immediate impact on atmospheric CO₂ levels and plays a key role in achieving net-zero by 2050.  ## CCU Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) converts captured CO₂ into valuable products such as synthetic fuels, chemicals, and building materials. By turning emissions into a resource, it supports a circular approach to carbon use and gives the CO₂ a renewed purpose. Although the carbon is eventually re-released (e.g., when a fuel is burned), CCU helps avoid the extraction and use of new carbon thereby reducing overall emissions. ## Biogenic vs. Fossil CO₂ CO₂ can come from different sources, and from a sustainability standpoint, the distinction matters. eFuel facilities developed by Liquid Wind capture and use biogenic CO₂ from industrial flue gases for the production of eMethanol. This CO₂ originates from renewable resources such as sustainably sourced biomass like wood or organic waste. Absorbed from the atmosphere by plants and later released during industrial processes, reusing it doesn't add new carbon into the atmosphere. By contrast, fossil CO₂ is released when coal, oil, or gas is burned. It introduces ancient carbon into today’s climate system, contributing directly to the accumulation of greenhouse gases (GHG). Capturing fossil CO₂ can reduce emissions, particularly if stored permanently underground, but it doesn't reduce fossil fuel dependency if extraction and use continue. ###### Using biogenic CO₂ allows us to: - Maintain a circular carbon cycle - Enable climate-aligned fuel production - Avoid fossil-based emissions ### Ready to Reduce your Carbon Footprint? We can help you convert your CO2 emissions into fossil-free fuel. Contact us to discuss how eMethanol production can fit into your operations.    [Get in touch](https://www.liquidwind.com/contact) ## Insights ![PRESSMEDDELANDE\_Liquid Wind\_CCU-teknikens roll i en cirkulär ekonomi\_10 September 2025\_SWE\_1](https://www.liquidwind.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PRESSMEDDELANDE_Liquid%20Wind_CCU-teknikens%20roll%20i%20en%20cirkul%C3%A4r%20ekonomi_10%20September%202025_SWE_1.jpg?width=2549&height=1393&name=PRESSMEDDELANDE_Liquid%20Wind_CCU-teknikens%20roll%20i%20en%20cirkul%C3%A4r%20ekonomi_10%20September%202025_SWE_1.jpg) ##### Carbon Capture and Utilisation: The Role of Bio-CCU in Reducing Carbon Emissions [Download White Paper](https://www.liquidwind.com/white-paper-carbon-capture-and-utilisation-the-role-of-bio-ccu-in-reducing-carbon-emissions) ![FoggyTrees](https://www.liquidwind.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Stock%20Images/FoggyTrees.jpg?width=2500&height=1671&name=FoggyTrees.jpg) ##### Carbon Capture Technologies: Embracing Synergies Between CCS and CCU [Read Blog Post](https://www.liquidwind.com/blog/carbon-capture-technologies-ccs-and-ccu-synergies) ## LIQUID WIND Global Headquarters Sankt Eriksgatan 6 411 05 Gothenburg, Sweden  [LinkedIn](https://se.linkedin.com/company/liquid-wind) [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCec6Iw5bKkCxuOC4qbi7t1g) - [eMethanol](https://www.liquidwind.com/emethanol) - [Electrolysis](https://www.liquidwind.com/electrolysis) - [Carbon Capture](https://www.liquidwind.com/carbon-capture) - [Methanol Synthesis](https://www.liquidwind.com/methanol-synthesis) - [Digital Twin](https://www.liquidwind.com/digital-twin) - [News](https://www.liquidwind.com/news) - [Blog](https://www.liquidwind.com/blog) - [Company flyer](https://www.liquidwind.com/company-flyer) - [White Papers](https://www.liquidwind.com/white-papers) - [About eFuels](https://www.liquidwind.com/blog/what-are-efuels) - [Podcasts](https://www.liquidwind.com/podcasts) - [Videos](https://www.liquidwind.com/videos) - [Glossary](https://www.liquidwind.com/glossary) - [About Us](https://www.liquidwind.com/about-us/our-company) - [Careers](https://careers.liquidwind.com/) - [Invest](https://www.liquidwind.com/invest) - [Sustainability](https://www.liquidwind.com/sustainability) All rights reserved Liquid Wind © 2026 - [Privacy Policy](https://www.liquidwind.com/privacy-policy) - [Cookie Policy](https://www.liquidwind.com/cookie-policy) - [Code of Conduct](https://www.liquidwind.com/hubfs/Documents/Liquid+Wind_Code+of+Conduct.pdf) - [Whistleblowing](https://whistleblowersoftware.com/secure/LiquidWind) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "VideoObject", "contentUrl" : "https://stream.mux.com/ctjybQulzMN002yFJxm017WcG9BYu9aPNGOdeCr9KbZUo/capped-1080p.mp4", "dateModified" : "2025-06-03T06:57:46.562Z", "duration" : "PT31.595S", "height" : 1080, "name" : "Production Process - Carbon Capture", "thumbnailUrl" : "https://145818830.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hubfs/145818830/Production%20Process/Production%20Process%20-%20Carbon%20Capture.mp4/medium.jpg", "uploadDate" : "2025-05-14T14:18:40.543Z", "width" : 1920 } ```
