1. Introduction

1.1. Research Background

Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are two prominent fields that have gained significant attention in recent years [1,2,3][1][2][3]. CDR technology focuses on the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere [4], while AI encompasses the development of intelligent systems capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence [5,6][5][6]. The integration of CDR technology and AI presents a compelling opportunity to optimize energy systems and address the challenges of climate change. CDR technology aims to mitigate climate change by actively removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere or capturing it from emission sources [7]. Various CDR methods have been proposed and developed including Direct Air Capture (DAC) [8], which extracts CO2 directly from ambient air, and Bioenergy Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS), which combines biomass energy production with carbon capture and storage [9,10][9][10]. These technologies offer the potential to reduce carbon emissions and contribute to a more sustainable future. Figure 1 shows the important role of AI in CO2 emission reduction. The left scheme corresponds to an AI-based GHG sequestrating cycle. The right scheme describes the role of AI software in this scheme.

Additionally, AI has demonstrated remarkable capabilities in data analysis, pattern recognition, and optimization [11]. By harnessing the power of AI, energy systems can be optimized to achieve greater efficiency, reduce the carbon footprint, and improve overall performance. The integration of CDR technology and AI holds significant promise for energy system optimization. AI techniques can enhance CDR technologies in several ways including accurate assessment and monitoring of carbon emissions, optimization of deployment and operation of CDR facilities, and real-time monitoring and adaptive control based on changing conditions [12].
The motivation behind integrating CDR technology and AI lies in the urgent need to address climate change and transition to a sustainable energy future. The rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the associated environmental consequences necessitate effective strategies to reduce emissions and remove existing carbon [13]. By combining CDR technology and AI, wresearchers can enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of carbon removal processes, optimize energy systems, and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy. The integration of CDR technology and AI presents a unique opportunity to optimize energy systems and mitigate climate change.

1.2. Overview of CDR Technology

Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) technology encompasses various methods and approaches aimed at removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere or capturing it from emission sources. Here are some common CDR technologies.
  • Direct Air Capture (DAC)

2. Integration of “CDR + AI”

The integration of CDR Technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers several potential advantages, including four parts as follows:

2.1. Accurate Carbon Emissions Assessment

By combining CDR technology and AI, it becomes possible to accurately assess and quantify carbon emissions. Figure 5 shows an overview of the thematic dimensions included in the technical feasibility assessment of CDR removal. AI algorithms can analyze large amounts of data from various sources, including CDR facilities, industrial processes, and energy consumption patterns, to provide more precise estimations of carbon emissions. This can help in identifying high-emission areas, tracking progress towards emission reduction goals, and informing policy decisions [25][18].
Figure 5. Overview of thematic dimensions included in the feasibility assessment framework of CDR options.
AI algorithms can integrate and analyze data from multiple sources, including emissions inventories, satellite imagery, sensor networks, and industry-specific data, to gain a comprehensive understanding of emissions across different sectors and regions [26][19]. By analyzing emissions-related data, AI can identify the spatial and temporal patterns of emissions, such as emission hotspots or areas with significant emission fluctuations, and pinpoint the high-emission areas that may require targeted interventions [27][20]. Machine learning techniques enable AI models to recognize emission patterns and make predictions based on historical data [28][21], identifying areas with a higher likelihood of being high-emission areas [29,30][22][23].
Satellite imagery provides valuable information on greenhouse gas concentrations, land-use changes, and industrial activities [31,32][24][25], which AI algorithms can process and analyze to identify regions with higher emissions and track changes over time [33][26]. Integrating data from sensors and IoT devices enables real-time monitoring of emissions, facilitating the identification of areas experiencing sudden spikes or persistent high emissions [34,35][27][28]. By visualizing emissions data spatially and using geospatial analysis techniques, AI can provide intuitive representations of high-emission areas [36,37][29][30]—making it easier for policymakers and stakeholders to identify regions that require targeted mitigation strategies [38][31].
By leveraging these capabilities, AI algorithms can assist in identifying high-emission areas, providing valuable insights into the sources and patterns of emissions. This information can guide policymakers in developing targeted interventions, implementing emission reduction measures, and prioritizing areas for mitigation efforts.

2.2. Optimized Energy System Configuration

AI algorithms can optimize the integration of CDR technology into energy systems by analyzing data on energy demand, renewable energy generation [39][32], and other factors to identify the most efficient and cost-effective ways to reduce carbon emissions and improve overall system efficiency [40,41][33][34]. By maximizing the use of renewable energy sources, AI can help reduce carbon emissions. Figure 6 is a schematic of a low-carbon energy system.
Figure 6. The schematic diagram of a low-carbon energy system.
AI algorithms can analyze extensive datasets related to energy demand, renewable energy generation, grid infrastructure, and other relevant factors [42,43][35][36]. By processing this data, AI models can build sophisticated models that capture the complexities of an energy system including the interplay between different energy sources, demand patterns, and carbon emissions [40,44][33][37]. These models enable scenario analysis and optimization to identify efficient and cost-effective configurations for integrating CDR technology [45][38]. Considering factors such as energy demand, renewable energy availability, storage capacities, and carbon removal targets, AI algorithms simulate and evaluate different system configurations [46,47][39][40]. This facilitates the identification of optimal solutions that maximize renewable energy use, minimize carbon emissions, and achieve specific energy and carbon removal objectives.
AI algorithms also optimize demand-side management strategies by analyzing energy demand patterns [12,48][12][41]. By leveraging machine learning techniques, AI identifies demand response opportunities, predicts peak energy demand periods, and optimizes the scheduling of energy-consuming activities [49,50][42][43]. This helps balance energy supply and demand, reduce reliance on fossil fuel-based energy generation, and increase the integration of renewable energy and CDR technologies. AI enhances the accuracy of renewable energy forecasting by analyzing historical weather data, renewable energy generation data, and other variables [51,52][44][45]. Accurate predictions of renewable energy availability enable the optimization of CDR facility scheduling and operation, aligning them with high renewable energy generation and low grid demand [53,54][46][47]. Furthermore, AI algorithms optimize energy system configurations by analyzing historical and real-time data on energy supply and demand, market prices, weather conditions, and other factors [55][48]. This analysis identifies opportunities for energy storage deployment, demand shifting, and smart grid management [56][49], ensuring stability, accommodating intermittent renewable energy sources, and effectively integrating CDR technologies [39][32].
By leveraging AI capabilities, energy system operators, policymakers, and stakeholders can optimize energy system configurations to maximize CDR technology benefits. This includes minimizing carbon emissions, maximizing renewable energy use, and improving overall system efficiency and resilience.

2.3. Real-Time Monitoring and Scheduling of CDR Facilities

AI enables the real-time monitoring and adaptive control of CDR facilities. By analyzing data from sensors, AI algorithms can continuously monitor the performance and operation of CDR facilities, detecting any anomalies or inefficiencies [57][50]. This allows for timely adjustments and optimizations, ensuring optimal utilization of resources and maximization of the carbon removal capacity of the facilities. Figure 7 displays a map depicting the global distribution of CCUS facilities with a specific focus on Europe.
Figure 7. Worldwide distribution of CCUS facilities divided by categories, expanded in Europe.
AI algorithms integrate data from various sensors and monitoring devices installed in CDR facilities [59,60][51][52]. This includes parameters like temperature, pressure, flow rates, and capture efficiency. By continuously analyzing real-time data, AI monitors the performance of CDR facilities, detects anomalies or deviations from optimal conditions, and alerts operators to potential issues [61,62][53][54]. Anomaly detection techniques help identify abnormal behavior or malfunctions [63][55], triggering alarms or notifications by comparing real-time sensor data with historical patterns and predefined thresholds. Operators can take immediate corrective actions, minimizing disruptions in the carbon removal process. AI also predicts maintenance needs and schedules proactive maintenance activities, optimizing facility availability and reliability [64][56].
AI dynamically adjusts CDR facility operations based on real-time data and changing conditions. By monitoring factors like energy availability, carbon capture efficiency, and storage capacity, AI optimizes scheduling and resource allocation. This enables adaptive control strategies that maximize carbon removal capacity, optimize energy consumption, and respond to fluctuations in renewable energy generation or demand. AI optimizes resource allocation within CDR facilities, considering real-time data on energy availability, cost, and carbon removal targets. This determines the most efficient allocation of resources for optimal carbon removal performance, minimizing costs while maximizing capacity. AI integrates with energy grid data and market signals to schedule CDR facilities. Considering electricity prices, demand peaks, and renewable energy availability, AI schedules carbon removal processes during periods of low electricity demand or high renewable energy availability. This maximizes renewable energy utilization, reduces costs, and aligns carbon removal activities with grid conditions.

2.4. Mutual Benefits and Mechanisms

The integration of CDR technology and AI can lead to mutual benefits and synergies [65][57]. CDR technology can provide data for AI model training and improvement, while AI optimization methods can improve the efficiency of CDR technology. The data collected from CDR facilities can be used to train AI models and enhance their accuracy and efficiency. AI algorithms can analyze complex datasets and optimize the operation and performance of CDR facilities, leading to increased carbon removal efficiency and reduced operational costs [22][17].
CDR facilities generate a wealth of data that can be utilized to train AI models [3]. By incorporating this data into the training process, AI algorithms can learn from real-world CDR operations and improve their accuracy and efficiency. This leads to more effective AI models that can make better decisions and optimizations in CDR technology [66][58].
AI algorithms can optimize the operation and performance of CDR facilities by analyzing complex datasets and identifying patterns and correlations [67][59]. This enables AI to make informed decisions and adjustments in real-time, enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of CDR technology. AI algorithms can optimize various aspects of CDR technology processes, including capture, storage, and utilization of carbon dioxide, leading to cost reductions, energy savings, and increased carbon removal capacity.
AI algorithms can enable CDR systems to be adaptive and responsive to changing conditions by continuously analyzing real-time data. This adaptability allows CDR systems to optimize their performance in response to variations in energy supply, carbon emissions, and other relevant factors, ensuring effective carbon removal in real-time [68][60]. AI can also play a crucial role in planning the deployment and scalability of CDR technology by analyzing various factors and optimizing the allocation of resources [69][61].
The integration of CDR technology and AI creates a symbiotic relationship that enables improved carbon removal capabilities, cost-effectiveness, and scalability. This synergy contributes to the mitigation of climate change by offering accurate carbon emissions assessments, optimized energy system configurations, and real-time monitoring and scheduling of CDR facilities. The mutual benefits between CDR technology and AI can drive advancements in both fields, leading to more efficient and effective carbon removal solutions.
