– What’s Your Plan for Net Zero? Direct Air Capture, Permanent Carbon Removal and the Path to 2030, 2050, and Beyond

Net zero by 2050. Dramatic emissions reductions by 2030. Scientists tell us these measures are necessary to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. But how do we get there? These goals require the energy mix of 2030 to be significantly different from that of today. They also require permanent carbon dioxide removal to address the most difficult to decarbonize sectors of our economy. Carbon Engineering (CE) is a leading provider of Direct Air Capture technology that captures carbon dioxide (CO2) directly from the atmosphere. CE is focused on the global deployment of megaton-scale Direct Air Capture technology, so it can have the greatest impact on the huge climate challenge. Anna will discuss how this proven technology is a feasible, available and affordable solution for removing carbon dioxide from the air at large scale and for producing ultra-low carbon synthetic fuels, and why it should be a key ingredient in net zero plans.
