Or if you have emissions taking place far away, in the poor countries, the idea that you could do free air capture, like Carbon Engineering is trying to do and a few other people are trying to do — that would have to be part of the mix.

In some ways, how people reaction to air capture can help to clarify if they see climate policy as focused on carbon dioxide, or all of those other things getting a free ride.

My colleague Ken Chang, who has written on other concepts for capturing CO2 from the air, is checking this one out.

We do have a range of negative emissions technologies, BECCS, soil sequestration of carbon, direct air capture, forests, biochar and others A combination of all of them would have potential to solve the problem.

Many other CDR events focus on a single approach (e.g. Direct Air Capture, biochar, or land management) or single audience (e.g. academic, professional, etc.).

The major other advantage of CDR from fossil fuel plant cleanup is that air capture can be done anywhere and thus where the carbon can be both removed, used, and sequestered with the use even making the sequestration profitable.

In the near term, federal policy could: i) level the playing field between air captured CO2 and fossil - fuel derived CO2 by providing subsidies or credits for superior carbon lifecycle emissions that account for recovering carbon from the atmosphere; ii) provide additional research funding into air capture R&D initiatives, along with other areas of carbon removal, which have historically been unable to secure grants; and iii) ensure air capture is deployed in a manner that leads to sustainable net - negative emissions pathways in the future, within the framework of near - term national emissions reductions, and securing 2 °C - avoiding emissions trajectories.

The other is to capture fossil fuel emissions before they enter the atmosphere, or to suck them directly out of the air — a technique known as carbon dioxide removal.

But innovators are also working on other carbon removal methods: direct air capture systems, agricultural techniques with the potential to sequester carbon in soils, and mining techniques that use minerals to sequester carbon directly from the atmosphere, for example.

But these costs for direct air capture are actually on par with the debuts of other first - of - a-kind climate technologies (including wind, solar, and electric vehicles) on a $ / ton CO2 abated basis.

Above: Negative - emissions solutions can include use of natural systems (e.g., forest or other ecosystem restoration, agricultural soil carbon sequestration) and technological systems (e.g., bioenergy, direct air capture coupled with storage in long - lived materials or geologic formations, accelerated CO2 mineralization processes).

With market competition from other direct air capture developers deploying similar modular strategies, it is reasonable to expect that direct air capture innovation and cost improvements will continue.

Historically, direct air capture has been largely framed as overwhelmingly expensive or impractical at commercial scale by carbon capture experts, due to the challenge of capturing the dilute CO2 in the air (exhaust streams of power plants and other industrial facilities like oil refineries, steel mills, and cement plants have much more concentrated CO2 steams).

They add: «Direct air capture could become a major industry if the technology matures and prices drop dramatically... Direct air capture might require much less land [than other negative emissions techniques], but entail much higher costs and consumption of a large fraction of global energy production.

Our direct air capture approach has several advantages over other carbon removal technologies: it does not require water or depend on arable land; has a small physical footprint; and is scalable.

And since capture from power plants and other «point sources» is far less expensive than air capture, it makes sense to focus CCS on power plants (fossil or bio) right now.

Unlike other air pollutants, CO2 is an intended and necessary product of combustion, which means that CO2 emissions can not be «reduced» in the same way that SO2 can, for example, by eliminating impurities or scrubbing flue gas at power plants; rather, reducing emissions will likely require efficiency improvements or some method of CO2 capture for storage or reuse.
