Carbon footprint of oil produced through enhanced oil recovery using carbon dioxide directly captured from air

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Can oil production be carbon neutral? A general top-down analysis shows that DAC CO 2 -EOR may seem so if only the EOR phase is considered—but full reservoir life cycle accounting reveals that true carbon neutrality is physically unachievable.
