Colloquially speaking, we store CO2 really deep underground.

A couple of really interesting figures from a recent

analysis.
There is a pathway to sub-$200 DAC, but not with the status quo.
Big levers:

2. Solar-esque learning rates
3. Lower costs of capital

If you think green steel is going to struggle without demand side policy, wait until you see DAC
The future is a (demand side) policy choice
Ugh. Cleveland-Cliffs may forego a 500M grant to replace a blast furnace with cleaner tech because they are afraid there won't be buyers for the greener steel, which could cost 40% more to produce.

This is the single most important figure for CCS
If the green bar (revenue) is higher than the gray bar (cost) CCS is likely to get deployed in the US. If it's lower, it doesn't.
CCS is by definition the green premium, and the alternative is more emissions

CCS is a suite of technologies, across many use cases.
Some of the use cases are better than others. Costs, technology, TRL all vary.
So instead of saying "CCS is fraud" or "CCS is bad" or whatever empty platitude you prefer, please be specific, and give an alternative!

DAC has plenty of constraints, so where does it deploy? And why?

DAC will play a critical role in carbon removals but it does not have "infinitely scalable decarbonization potential" and saying so only hurts the industry

CCS should be deployed when it's cost-effective and when there are no better alternatives.
With the cost of renewables and batteries, that situation will rarely be in the power sector.

Surprising no one, most of the carbon offset projects are junk.
The voluntary carbon market is filled with bad actors, exaggeration, and fraud.
Companies should reduce their own emissions close to zero, and buy high-quality removals for the rest.

Geologic storage of carbon dioxide is one of the safest climate technologies.
We've injected nearly 300 million tons with no leaks.
Most of these tons are stored in saline aquifers, deep underground, ~8,000 ft below surface, or about 26 Statutes of Liberty.

The real impact of the DOE CO2 procurement effort is not the tons themselves and they're probably the least impactful.
It's the criteria DOE used to include/exclude CDR technologies.
This is a huge signal to the VCM, Europe and the world. What is govt procurement grade CDR?

I tweet about CCS and DAC because that's what I work on and enjoy. And we will need both, at scale.

This is what happens when you value $/ton over additionality, permanence and durability.
And also why these companies should just reduce their scope 1 and scope 2 emissions rather than buying fake offsets.

When talking about storage, and its impeccable safety record, I think we often miss the depth aspect.
We're injecting at least 800m into the subsurface and all the way down to ~2400m.
That's 17 to 52 Statues of Liberty deep.
