If all of these planned projects go ahead and steadily capture CO 2 at full capacity, DAC deployment would reach around 4.7 Mt CO 2 by 2030 this is more than 500 times today’s capture rate, but less than 7% of the 75 Mt CO 2 needed to get on track with the NZE Scenario. Plans for a total of 16 DAC facilities are now in advanced development or under construction. Some of the largest projects under development are in the United States ( STRATOS, Oxy-CE Kleberg County project and HIF eFuels Matagorda County project in Texas, and Bison in Wyoming), the United Kingdom (the North-East Scotland DAC project), Norway ( the Kollsnes DAC project) and Iceland (the Mammoth project). Overall, plans for at least 130 DAC facilities are now at various stages of development. Six DAC projects are currently under construction, with the largest two expected to come online in 2024 in Iceland (36 kt CO 2/year) and in 2025 in the United States (500 kt CO 2/year, with plans to scale up to as much as 1 000 kt CO 2/year).įast-growing demand for air-captured CO 2, for both carbon removal and low-emission synthetic hydrocarbon fuel production, is translating into several announcements for new, larger plants. All of these plants are small-scale, with only a few commercial agreements in place to sell or store the captured CO 2, while the remaining plants are operated for testing and demonstration purposes. To date, 27 DAC plants have been commissioned in Europe, North America, Japan and the Middle East.
