Morgan and Zach's research on direct air carbon capture highlights its potential in climate change mitigation

Morgan and Zach co-led research modeling the feasibility space for carbon dioxide removal technologies. Their findings, published in the Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences, provide important insight to the future of direct air carbon capture and storage (DACCS), specifically. DACCS could remove 5 gigatonnes annually by 2050 if it scales at the rate of solar photovoltaics. However, if it scales at a slower pace, similar to natural gas pipelines, it may only remove 0.2 gigatonnes per year.
