CNBC recently produced a 17-min video about direct air capture (DAC) and corporations, specifically big oil, funding R&D operations. The video discusses the basic technology, as well as some pitfalls. Direct air capture is in early stages of developing technology to remove atmospheric CO2.
By implication, the oil giants are clearly aware of what’s at stake (a) the planet is stressed almost beyond limits (b) there’s some money to be made trying to fix it (c) it’s a great PR gig. But, the problem is much bigger and more complex than oil and gas betting on early stage development of technology to capture the same emissions they created in the first instance. Direct air capture is complex and expensive with sizeable infrastructure requirements, explained in further detail hereinafter, a real eye-opener.

TITUSVILLE, Pennsylvania In the valley that changed the world, all of the derricks are long gone. But the economic, environmental, and societal effect of Edwin Drake’s oil strike here in 1859 is still being felt today 162 years later.
What set Drake apart from previous oil discoveries was his work here proved petroleum could be produced in large quantities by drilling wells rather than by boiling the oil off of shale rock. That moment marked the beginning of the modern petroleum industry.
What happened here changed the world, taking us from a nation lit by tallow candles, preventing us from working after the sun set, and massively improving our transportation going from the limitations of the horse and cart to soaring in the skies above the earth.
