However, this sidesteps the question of whether there are substantial opportunity costs in pursuing a full - throated air capture R&D program.

But a new study by Roger Pielke, Jr. (of the University of Colorado and Prometheus blog) shows that air capture could be a cost - competitive mitigation option.

This has left us with highly variable estimates of project costs, ranging from Klaus Lackner's claim that air capture could be effectuated for less than $ 100 per ton of carbon dioxide to more than $ 1000 in a 2011 study, as well as the American Physical Society's estimate of about $ 600 per ton.

Investment - operating costs and salaries of professionals tasked with building / brokering private equity investment in market - friendly GGR approaches which have a license to operate, e.g. from growth capital in an advancing Direct Air Capture company, to structuring the local community - led financing of an ecosystem restoration initiative.

With respect to direct air capture, which is in a nascent development stage and thus currently a longer range option, reducing the cost of CCS through transformational technologies is even more important to that application.
