Google's $10 million partnership with Holocene aims to enhance direct-air capture technology, targeting to capture 100,000 tons of CO2 by the early 2030s.
The direct-air capture technology is touted for its potential to collect and store carbon dioxide, but has faced challenges in scalability and cost.
Despite Google's efforts, including eliminating its 'carbon legacy,' its greenhouse gas emissions have surged nearly 50% over the last five years due to AI data demands.
The $100 per metric ton price set by the US Department of Energy underscores a goal for carbon removal technology to become viable in climate change efforts.
