DACLab says it can remove CO2 using less electricity than many competitors
The world’s countries may have pledged to cut its carbon pollution, but with global emissions reaching an all-time high last year they’ve fallen far short. 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
