The world’s largest facility for removing carbon dioxide from the air is set to open in Texas in 2025, increasing the sector’s worldwide capacity by a factor of 13.
Currently the largest direct air capture (DAC) plant in the world is in Iceland – the Mammoth site, built and operated by Swiss firm Climeworks. It opened in May 2024 and can extract up to 36,000 tonnes of CO2 each year from Earth’s atmosphere.
