Research by ETH Zurich has indicated that targets for slashing carbon emissions will be hard to achieve unless ways can be found to reduce the cost of direct air capture (DAC) technologies.<\/h2>\n
ETH spin-\u200boff Climeworks operates a plant in Iceland that uses direct air carbon capture to capture 4,000 tonnes of CO2 a year, at a cost per tonne of between $1,000-1,300. But how quickly can these costs come down as deployment increases?<\/p>\n
