[196 Pages Report] The Direct Air Capture Market size was estimated at USD 190.85 million in 2023 and expected to reach USD 273.87 million in 2024, at a CAGR 44.52% to reach USD 2,513.17 million by 2030.

Direct air capture (DAC) refers to a suite of technologies engineered to extract carbon dioxide (CO2) directly from the atmosphere. This process serves as a pivotal strategy in reducing atmospheric concentrations of CO2, thus addressing climate change. The expansion of DAC deployment is primarily driven by increasing governmental and corporate commitments to achieving net-zero emissions, the advancement of carbon sequestration technologies, and growing financial incentives such as carbon pricing mechanisms. However, DAC faces limitations, including high energy requirements, substantial financial costs, and infrastructural challenges related to the storage and utilization of captured CO2. Addressing these disadvantages necessitates ongoing technological innovations aimed at enhancing energy efficiency, reducing operational costs, and developing effective carbon utilization pathways. Integrations with renewable energy sources, the development of scalable DAC facilities, and significant roles in carbon-neutral aviation fuels and carbon-negative building materials offer promising vistas for expanding DAC.

Product: Use of adsorption DAC methods for their high scalability in operational projects

Absorption-based DAC involves CO2 capture directly from ambient air using liquid solvents. It is especially suited for locations with abundant renewable energy sources due to its high energy demand during the regeneration of solvents. This method benefits from mature technology derived from industrial gas separation processes. Adsorption-based DAC utilizes solid sorbents to capture CO2 from the air. This technology is adaptable to variable energy sources and is characterized by lower energy requirements for sorbent regeneration compared to absorption. It is ideal for areas with fluctuating renewable energy availability. Cryogenic-based DAC technology captures CO2 by cooling air to sub-zero temperatures until CO2 solidifies and can be separated. This method is energy-intensive but potentially advantageous in settings where excess low-cost energy is available, such as near renewable energy plants with significant overcapacity. Membrane-based DAC utilizes selectively permeable membranes to separate CO2 from the air. This technology benefits from lower energy requirements than absorption methods and is suitable for modular applications. It holds promise for integration into existing infrastructure or small-scale applications.

Application: Rising public-private investments in carbon capture & utilization

Carbon capture & storage (CCS) involves capturing carbon dioxide emissions from sources like power plants or directly from the atmosphere and storing it underground in geological formations. The primary goal of CCS is to prevent the release of significant quantities of CO2 into the atmosphere, mitigating the effects of climate change. CCS is critical for industries with significant carbon emissions that cannot be easily reduced through other means. Carbon capture & utilization (CCU) takes captured CO2 and repurposes it into useful products or fuels, thereby preventing CO2 from reaching the atmosphere and creating value from waste. CCU is particularly appealing for sectors aiming to create circular economies by turning their emissions into economic assets.

Regional Insights

In the Americas, particularly in the United States and Canada, there is a robust momentum in the development and deployment of DAC technologies, driven by governmental support, such as tax incentives and significant investments in research and development. Companies are pushing the DAC technology into commercialization and operational projects, with the U.S. leading in the number of installations and research facilities. The APAC region, while lagging behind in terms of operational DAC projects, is witnessing a growing interest in the technology, primarily due to escalating concerns over air quality and the urgent need to address climate change. Countries such as Japan and Australia are beginning to invest in pilot projects and research, exploring the technology's viability and integrating it into their carbon reduction strategies. In EMEA, the scenario is mixed; the European Union's strong regulatory framework and ambitious carbon neutrality goals have positioned it as a leader in climate technologies, including DAC. Several European countries have initiated research projects and are home to companies that have operational facilities in Switzerland and Iceland. With its vast energy resources, the Middle East is also starting to explore DAC technology as part of its diversification and climate mitigation strategies, albeit at a slower pace compared to Europe.
