Who is Who in Direct Air Capture
Here comes a list of key actors and experts in the global Direct Air Capture ecosystem. Check it out and drop names in the comments or send me an email to julius...@ntnu.no, if you know people who have not made it onto the list yet.

The list will be continuously updated, based on suggestions and comments.


Climeworks planned Mammoth DAC facility, Iceland
Context: I am prepping a study on how to accelerate the global deployment of Direct Air Capture. It will be based on 30 interviews with #DAC experts from a variety of backgrounds. More context on the study: https://lnkd.in/dyrPMgGQ

Direct air capture (DAC) technologies extract CO2 directly from the atmosphere. The CO2 can be permanently stored in deep geological formations (thereby achieving negative emissions or carbon removal) or it can be used, for example in food processing or combined with hydrogen to produce synthetic fuels. The main idea of it is to reverse climate change.
