Direct Air Capture (DAC) schemes aim to extract carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from the atmosphere by chemical and mechanical means, generally using a chemical sorbent and large fans to move air through a filter. The carbon dioxide can then be compressed and injected into geological formations deep underground or used for other purposes, such as Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) or the production of e-fuels.
