Direct Air Capture (DAC) is a method aimed at reducing excessive atmospheric CO2. Despite criticisms regarding its efficiency and energy demands, DAC is seen as essential, particularly as traditional emissions reduction will not suffice alone. Current annual carbon emissions have dramatically increased from 11 billion tons in 1960 to about 40 billion tons now. Meanwhile, the necessity of reversing the existing 950 gigatons of accumulated CO2 drives the need for innovative solutions like DAC, which involves advanced filtering systems to capture atmospheric CO2 efficiently.
If we as a species are to survive then all of that junk needs to be pulled back to Earth, and fast.
Direct Air Capture (DAC) is the practice of removing CO2 from the atmosphere by pulling air through a mechanical or chemical filter.
