Direct Air Capture of CO2: Helping to Achieve Net-zero Emissions
According to a 2018 report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, most future emission reduction pathways that enable limiting of global average temperature increases to 1.5 ̊C require the deployment of some form of carbon dioxide (CO2) removal. Direct air capture (DAC) is a process of capturing (CO2) directly from ambient air, as opposed to capturing from point sources, such as a cement factory or power plant, and generating a concentrated stream of CO2 for permanent underground storage, or for utilization in products.
