Where in the United States is the net carbon benefit of direct air capture the greatest?

March 20, 2023

Data Metadata PNG Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) plays a pivotal role in many scenarios of greenhouse gas mitigation. However, the scale of meaningful deployment of CDR is underappreciated.1 A United States National Academies study estimates that 10 to 20 billion metric tonnes (Gt) of CO2 must be removed annually by 2100, an enormous challenge.2 A Direct Air Carbon Capture and Storage

The release of methane to the atmosphere is a major focus of efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, accounting for about 20% of anthropogenic global warming since 1750.1  Since 2007, globally averaged atmospheric methane has been increasing at an accelerating rate.2  In addition to its impact on climate, methane contributes to the formation of
