Rep-Air and C-Questra in EU’s first onshore DACS project
C-Questra applies for onshore storage permit for site in Grandpuits as part of project to establish highly efficient DACS value chain on French soil
US-based tech startup Rep-Air Carbon and the Dutch carbon storage developer C-Questra are collaborating on plans to establish Europe’s first onshore direct carbon capture and storage (DACS) facility, at a site southeast of Paris. C-Questra has applied for a permit to develop onshore CO₂ storage at the site at Grandpuits, eliminating the need for the infrastructure often required for offshore storage. The initial aim of the project is to remove 100,000t/yr of CO₂from the atmosphere and then scale up to megatons by 2035. The project would see the development of a complete DACS value chain on French soil, from capture to storage, and will align with France's CCUS strategy to capture 4–8mt/yr of
