DACLab says it can remove CO2 using less electricity than many competitors

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2025-09-22 15:00:00

Digging out of that hole is going to require removing carbon straight from the atmosphere. But it comes with a hefty price tag, mostly because of the energy required. Removing one metric ton of CO 2 using direct air capture is expected to require around 2,000 kWh of electricity when the technology is sorted and scaled up. One startup called
