Direct air capture (DAC) is the process of capturing CO₂ from the ambient air which makes it a highly scalable approach. Our approach allows for the amount of CO₂ removed to be easily measured and verified. Both the amount of chemicals used for capture and the weight of output can be calculated. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a way of reducing carbon emissions from industrial processes in hard-to-abate sectors such as the manufacturing of ethanol, fertilizers, steel, and cement. Carbon capture and storage from their point source of CO₂ may be necessary to significantly reduce their emissions and avoid longer timelines for decarbonization.
