What are the potential uses of captured CO2?

Captured CO2 can be used in enhanced oil recovery, manufacturing carbonates, producing biofuels, and creating building materials like concrete.

Captured CO2 has several potential uses that can offset the costs of capture. In enhanced oil recovery (EOR), CO2 is injected into oil fields to increase oil extraction. CO2 can also be used in manufacturing carbonates, which are materials used in various industrial processes. In the production of biofuels, CO2 can be converted into fuels by algae or other microorganisms. Additionally, CO2 can be used in the construction industry to cure concrete, reducing the carbon footprint of building materials and creating more sustainable construction practices.
