Good afternoon. I'm looking for carbon storage experts to share insights for an article weighing the pros and cons of Direct Air Capture as a method to remove and store excess atmospheric carbon. My main questions are: 1.) Despite the recent U.S. federal funding rollback, Direct Air Capture (or DAC) is moving forward through sizeable private investment. This method of carbon storage has been greeted with mixed reviews for the past few years. What are your thoughts on the benefits and potential dangers of removing CO2 from the air (near major emissions locations) and storing it underground? 2.) One of the counterpoints made against DAC vs. other types of carbon removal is the cost. What are your thoughts on this? 3.) Some U.S. communities have pushed back on underground carbon storage in their area (which is used in DAC) due to leakage concerns, which can have fatal consequences. Are there safer versions of carbon removal and storage worth considering? If so, please explain.
