If the world is to reach net zero, billions of tons of carbon dioxide need pulling from the air every year. At the moment, the global carbon removal system extracts less than 0.01 percent of that.
As the need for climate action intensifies, The U.S. is heading up the largest global effort to help halt climate change through Direct Air Capture and expanded a tax credit to $180/tonne to bolster the burgeoning technology.
A new study details a method of direct carbon capture that takes the atmospheric CO2 and transforms it into baking soda, which could then safely be stored in seawater.
