Direct Air Capture Coalition reposted this
🤔 What’s the state of DAC in 2025? I went to the 2025 Global Direct Air Capture (DAC) Conference in New York 🗽 to find out (and to speak about how Carbonfuture is supporting DAC projects with our MRV+ and brokerage services). Some key takeaways: 👀 2025 is the “show me” year for DAC — expect to see more and more proof points that this CDR pathway can deliver 👷 As DAC and other innovative carbon removal technologies come out of the lab and start industrializing, they are supporting new jobs for steel, concrete, and construction workers. 🏋 The current policy and investment environment have their uncertainties, but resilient companies are persevering, building flexibility and adaptability into their business models. ⛓️ Additional challenges remain, such as standardizing data and managing liability with multiple parties in the value chain (e.g., capture vs. transport vs. storage). All in all, a great event! A big thank you to the hosts — Direct Air Capture Coalition, Breakthrough Energy , RMI, Good Energy Collective, and Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES) — and I look forward to coming back next year!

3wAt one point in the near future Michael Railey I thoroughly believe a majority percentile will fully understand, both the relevance and necessity of carbon removals, and most importantly bring this into the forefront of their organisations strategies. The cost of no action now will bare resemblence of global catastrophe, a story nobody wants to unfold. Great insights in your post, best wishes Christopher Wood
