Direct Air Capture technology has passed the point where it can casually be dismissed as impractical or prohibitively expensive. But it is worth being open about what DAC is not. It is not a licence to continue emitting. It is not a reason to slow the transition to clean energy. And it will not, on its own, reverse the trajectory of atmospheric CO₂. In truth, no single technology will. What DAC can do is function as a critical component of an integrated approach that combines aggressive emissions reduction with active carbon removal, and that treats captured CO₂ as a resource rather than a problem.
