REPORT
Early deployment of direct air capture with dedicated geologic storage
In recent years, carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technology has moved from theoretical concept to pilot scale, producing a handful of potentially scalable approaches for generating negative emissions by capturing carbon dioxide (CO2 ) from the atmosphere. This paper from EDF explores just one technology-based approach: direct air capture (DAC) with dedicated geologic storage, also known as direct air carbon capture and sequestration (DACCS).More on:
