Direct air capture (DAC) of carbon dioxide is today a hotly debated carbon management technology, attracting scepticism in some quarters but also growing investment reflecting its crucial role in the maths of delivering Net Zero.
Some firms in the space are focused on large-scale DAC projects with permanent carbon sequestration in mind, while others, like Netherlands-based Skytree or Aircapture in the US, are developing smaller, modular DAC systems designed to integrate directly into industrial CO2 supply chains and deliver CO2 for either utilisation or large scale storage.
Could this modular model make scaling DAC fast more viable, if costs continue to fall?
