Airbus has pioneered Direct Air Carbon Capture and Storage (DACCS) technology which filters and removes CO2 emissions directly from the air using high-powered extraction fans. Once removed from the air, the CO2 is stored in underground reservoirs.
Air Canada is the first North American carrier to sign on to the airplane manufacturer’s carbon-removal initiative.
The carrier joins Air France-KLM, IAG, Lufthansa, LATAM, easyJet, and Virgin Atlantic in pioneering the project with Airbus. DACCS technology offers airlines carbon removal credits to advance their decarbonisation goals .
“The development and application of new technologies is a key pillar in Air Canada’s strategy to work toward net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Carbon capture is exciting because this technology is available now to help reduce our impact as we continue to support other, longer term opportunities such as sustainable fuels and electric aircraft. As importantly, our collaboration with Airbus on…
