A recent Stanford University study has concluded that carbon capture and direct air capture should be abandoned in favour of replacing infrastructure with renewable wind, solar, geothermal, and hydropower. More about Study finds renewable energy infrastructure cheaper and more efficient than carbon capture
Climate technology company Heirloom has opened the first commercial Direct Air Capture plant in the US, which will sequester atmospheric carbon for permanent storage using energy-efficient kilns. More about Heirloom opens first large-scale carbon capture plant in US
In an "urgently needed" discovery that could revolutionise direct air capture, researchers from Lehigh University have found a way to potentially make the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere cheaper and more efficient.

The world's largest direct air carbon capture and storage plant has started operating in Iceland, run by Swiss company Climeworks. More about World's largest carbon-capture plant Orca opens in Iceland
Carbon is the most valuable resource on earth, according to Climeworks, which has developed machines that suck it from the air so it can be turned into useful materials. More about "We're mining the sky because there's too much carbon in it" says Climeworks
Climeworks has opened a groundbreaking plant in Switzerland where carbon dioxide is sucked from the air before being resold. More about The world's first commercial carbon-capture plant opens in Switzerland
