Direct Air Capture

About

Direct air capture (DAC) systems pull carbon dioxide directly from ambient air using solid sorbent or liquid solvent systems, making them the only technology capable of addressing historical cumulative emissions regardless of where they were produced. The captured CO₂ can be permanently mineralised in basalt rock, injected into deep geological formations, or used as a feedstock for synthetic fuels and materials. Commercial DAC facilities are now operating or under construction across North America and Europe, with costs falling as first-of-a-kind projects demonstrate the technology and supply chains scale. Government purchase commitments and 45Q tax credits are accelerating investment.
