A look at the direct air capture industry today

Key take-aways:

• In Climeworks' first "Industry snapshot" report, expert contributors weigh in on what policymakers, technology providers, investors and businesses can do to support the sustainable growth of the industry
• From a policy perspective, government procurement of carbon removal and separated targets for removals and emission reductions are among the experts' suggestions
• For companies looking to remove a part of their residual emissions, selecting carbon removal solutions with a high permanence and additionality is key. Early and long-term demand will catalyse the large-scale implementation of direct air capture, which should be matched to renewable energy pathways

Time has come to super-charge the carbon removal sector. So where do we currently stand when it comes to direct air capture? With contributions by scientists, policy experts, and field actors, this report provides a comprehensive overview covering recent developments in the carbon removal space, investing into direct air capture, and how to ensure the sustainability of climate technology.
