There’s a growing opportunity in carbon dioxide supplied from direct air capture. Christian Annesley talks to Matt Atwood of DAC company Aircapture about progress, and looks at the wider context for scaling up CO2 that’s collected from the air.
Where does carbon dioxide (CO2) from direct air capture sit in the CO2 ecosystem today?
Understanding the role of direct air capture (DAC)-derived CO2 is crucial, as its production needs to surge in the coming years to meet global climate goals. Current projections show that carbon dioxide removal (CDR) systems – including DAC and improvements to natural ecosystems – must scale to billions of tonnes per year by mid-century.
