Neutrino transport plays a critical role in the evolution of neutron star mergers and the cooling of neutron stars. In this work, the quark core in a hybrid star is modeled with a three-flavor NJL-type model that allows for color-superconductivity (arXiv:2408.06704). We calculate the direct Urca neutrino opacities of quark matter in the unpaired and in the two-flavor superconducting (2SC) phase. At low temperatures, the contribution of the gapped quarks can be neglected and we show how the self-consistently calculated quark masses determine the density-window in which the charged-current direct Urca process is kinematically allowed. While neutrino absorption by down quarks is kinematically forbidden at zero temperature, the process with strange quarks is kinematically allowed.
