Reply to comment by boersc in The emerging climate tech sector will enjoy an 8.8 % growth rate over the next five years: tech companies that remove/reduce CO₂ emissions are “poised for strong continued growth,” reaching an expected value of $1.4tn by 2027 by climeworks
Hey, since we're the leader in direct air capture technology, we wanted to jump in here real quick and assure you: We're not selling hot air.
We offer the highest-quality carbon removal on the market (only company with a 5-star rating in CarbonPlan’s database: https://carbonplan.org/research/cdr-database/project?id=MSFT047)
Additionally, together with our CO₂ storage partner Carbfix we just developed the world's first full-chain certification methodology dedicated to carbon dioxide removal via direct air capture and underground mineralization storage. This methodology has been validated by the independent quality and assurance leader DNV (read more here: https://climeworks.com/news/certification-methodology-for-permanent-carbon-removal.
But just so we're all on the same page: one measure alone will not be sufficient to mitigate climate change, we need all solutions working together. We need to do everything we can to reduce emissions, and on top of that actively remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Do you have an idea how much the cost, of removing of a tonne of atmospheric CO2, will reduce in the next 5 or 10 years?

DAC is a huge waste of time and money. It's just another way for the biggest polluters (large corporations) to avoid accountability and change their ways. What a shame.

Hot air then.
Sorry, but I find this 'active removal of CO2 out of the air' a completely wrong method of trying to combat climate change.
We in The Netherlands had farmers that were tricked into spending fortunes to create 'clever stables', which worked in theory but had a net zero effect in practice.
