Under normal conditions, CO2 is a colourless gas, odourless, with a slightly sour taste, denser than air and non-flammable. It is liquefied at a pressure of 15-17 bar and a temperature of -30 to -35 °C. CO2 is non-toxic and is present in the atmosphere in a concentration of about 400ppm. Higher concentrations are dangerous for health due to reduced oxygen in the air.
Today, technologies including Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) or Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) are being developed on different scales, but before we look at how to capture this CO2, we first need to know where it can actually be used, by various industries and medical applications.
