Precision in Practice: Measurement and Innovation in Point Source & Direct Air Carbon Capture

In this webinar, Antti Heikkilä of Vaisala joins Carbon Capture Magazine to discuss Carbon capture’s pivotal role in helping companies achieve net-zero goals. Antti will explore emerging Direct Air Capture (DAC) technologies, which enable negative emissions and flexible siting as well as conventional point-source capture methods that target higher-concentration CO2 streams in industrial emissions. The session will address the technical and economic challenges of both approaches, including DAC’s high energy requirements and the impurity management needed for point-source systems.

A central theme will be the importance of accurate CO2 measurement throughout the capture and utilization process. Antti will highlight Vaisala’s CARBOCAP® technology and the MGP241 multigas probe, illustrating how advanced, real-time monitoring solutions are essential for optimizing efficiency, ensuring compliance, and scaling carbon capture projects.

You will gain practical insights into how measurement technology underpins the effectiveness and future growth of carbon capture, supporting the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon economy.
