DACLab Claims Breakthrough in CO2 Removal with Lower Energy Use
DACLab Says It Can Remove CO2 Using Less Electricity Than Many Competitors Countries worldwide have pledged to slash carbon emissions, yet global pollution hit a record high last year. With progress stalling, the race to remove carbon directly from the atmosphere is intensifying. DACLab says it can remove CO2 using less electricity than many competitors , making the technology more efficient and potentially more affordable. Image Credits:DACLab Direct air capture (DAC) is notoriously energy-hungry. On average, removing one metric ton of CO2 requires around 2,000 kWh of electricity once scaled. That’s a steep cost, both financially and environmentally. But DACLab claims it’s already breaking that barrier. DACLab’s Energy-Efficient Approach “We have data that I can share with you at 1,500 kilowatt hours per metric ton,” said Aditya Bhandari, co-founder and CEO of DACLab, in an interview with TechCrunch. That’s roughly 25% less energy than many projections for competing systems, positioning DA…
