From Iceland’s basalt chambers to Louisiana’s carbon hubs, DAC plants are redefining carbon removal as humanity’s most audacious attempt to undo its own emissions

XIn an earlier article, we had discussed Direct Air Capture (DAC) as one of the many ways of carbon dioxide reduction. We saw that DAC involves the pulling in of large amounts of air using giant fans or pumps, which is then passed through chemicals. The chemicals react with air in such a manner that carbon dioxide is trapped, and the other air is released. This pure stream of carbon dioxide is then carried to underground reservoirs for storage. We also saw that DAC is a highly capital-intensive process and requires a steady supply of green energy for it to be meaningful. There are very few such operational projects at th
