Impact of carbon dioxide removal technologies on deep ... - Nature nature.com Nature Jun 17, 2021 6 facts
claimThe analysis in the Nature article 'Impact of carbon dioxide removal technologies on deep decarbonization' illustrates that Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) options can enable gas turbines to serve as cost-effective substitutes for long-duration energy storage technologies for low-capacity-factor firm capacity.
claimCarbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) options enable gas turbines to serve as cost-effective substitutes for long-duration energy storage technologies for low-capacity-factor firm capacity.
claimThe 100% CO2 cap case without Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) results in net energy storage losses that are over an order of magnitude higher than the electricity use of Direct Air Capture (DAC) in the 100% DAC Only case, because gas turbines are replaced with hydrogen and electrolysis, which have low roundtrip efficiencies.
claimSeasonal balancing in power systems can be provided by nuclear power, dispatchable renewables, carbon-capture-equipped capacity, or gas turbines with very low annual emissions, in addition to long-duration storage.
claimSeasonal balancing resources include nuclear power, dispatchable renewables, carbon-capture-equipped capacity, and gas turbines with very low annual emissions.
claimThe deployment of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies increases the generation and capacity of natural-gas-fired units, particularly gas turbines which provide inexpensive capacity and operate at very low-capacity factors.

claimMicrogrid technology enhances the decentralization and use of variable renewable energy sources by balancing generation from solar, wind, and hydro with conventional sources like gas-fueled combustion turbines, coal, and diesel powerplants.
claimThe decentralization of electricity generation gained momentum when economies of scale ceased to be a significant factor due to innovation and technology development, specifically the use of diesel engines, gas turbines, and the adoption of smart grids.
claimMicrogrids allow for the balancing of generation from variable renewable sources like solar, wind, and hydro with conventional sources like gas-fueled combustion turbines, coal, and diesel powerplants.

claimConventional energy sources, including diesel, gas, microturbines, and combustion turbines, are constrained by high production costs, transmission loss, anthropogenic climate change, the greenhouse effect, and acid rain, according to Bongomin and Nziu (2022).
