Carbon dioxide derived from direct air capture needs to surge in the years ahead as part of meeting global climate goals – and the good news is that some players are starting to make tangible progress.
Some of those in the space are explicitly targeting the opportunity in supplying CO2 into the merchant market, rather than wait for CO2 pipelines for sequestration to be built out, and one such is Aircapture, based in California.
Founded in 2019, Aircapture provides modular on-site DAC machines to produce CO2 at the site of industrial demand. It made a splash in late 2024 when it teamed up with 44.01 to launch the world’s second DAC-to-sequestration project, in Fujairah in the UAE, where Aircapture’s machines capture CO2 from the air and deliver supercritical CO2 to underground wells, where it is mineralised into rock within 12 months.
