The publisher predicts strong revenue growth through to 2035. The work identifies which organizations hold the greatest potential. Discover their capabilities, progress, and commercial prospects, helping you stay ahead.
This report will prove invaluable to leading firms striving for new revenue pockets if they wish to better understand the industry and its underlying dynamics. It will be useful for companies that would like to expand into different industries or to expand their existing operations in a new region.
Europe is complementing U.S. tax credits with market design. The EU's Carbon Removal Certification Framework (CRCF), adopted in 2024, establishes a voluntary, EU-wide certification scheme for removals-including permanent geological storage-backed by verification and registry rules now being operationalized through 2024-2025 acts and workshops. This sits alongside ReFuelEU Aviation, which sets a SAF mandate beginning in 2025 and an explicit e-fuels sub-target from 2030, indirectly creating future pull for DAC-derived CO‚ÇÇ as a feedstock to synthetic kerosene. These frameworks make 'high-integrity, permanent removals' a definable product with recognized verification-exactly what capital markets and corporate buyers require.
The pressure to demonstrate operational performance is real. Media scrutiny in 2025 highlighted the gap between nameplate and early-ramp net removals at new plants and the sensitivity of DAC economics to utilization and energy pricing. While developers report upgrades and learning-curve improvements, underperformance headlines can spook financiers and buyers unfamiliar with first-of-a-kind dynamics. The result is a higher bar for technical due diligence, contingency budgets and performance-linked offtake structures in early projects.

Policy Signals That Pay for Verified, Permanent Removal
Powerful new policy instruments are turning DAC from an R&D project into a bankable asset class. In the United States, the Inflation Reduction Act lifted the 45Q credit for DAC to as much as $180 per tonne for projects meeting labor rules, with updated IRS guidance in 2024-2025 clarifying utilization pathways and administration; that materially improves modeled cash flows for plants that achieve geological storage or durable utilization and meet prevailing wage/apprenticeship requirements. These credits are inflation-adjusted and apply for 12 years from commissioning, creating a predictable revenue spine for sponsors and lenders structuring project finance around first-of-a-kind assets.Europe is complementing U.S. tax credits with market design.

Cost, Energy Intensity and the 'Counterfactual Power' Problem
DAC remains expensive on a per-tonne basis, and it is energy-hungry. Even as modules scale, plants must source low-carbon electricity and heat; otherwise, net removals and credit quality erode. Iceland illustrates one solution-pairing with geothermal and in-situ mineralization-but such ideal geologies and energy mixes are geographically limited, forcing most projects to solve for clean power procurement, grid interconnection and process heat at competitive prices. Until costs migrate toward low-hundreds and eventually sub-$100/t, addressable demand outside premium buyers will be constrained.The pressure to demonstrate operational performance is real.

What would be the Impact of US Trade Tariffs on the Global Direct Air Capture (DAC) Market?
The imposition of U.S. tariffs on low-carbon technologies, including direct air capture (DAC) equipment, components, and associated infrastructure, is poised to have significant implications for the global direct air capture market. As the United States is one of the largest investors, innovators, and early adopters of DAC technologies, any changes to trade policy can ripple across supply chains, investment flows, and deployment timelines worldwide. Tariffs on imported DAC materials such as sorbents, membranes, reactors, or renewable-powered infrastructure components could increase production costs, slow project execution, and impact the competitiveness of DAC solutions relative to other carbon removal approaches. Conversely, protectionist policies might incentivize domestic manufacturing, boost local supply chains, and attract new investments into U.S.-based DAC production hubs. The resulting market response will largely depend on the tariff intensity, duration, and the extent of global collaboration shaping whether the industry experiences a rapid rebound, a delayed recovery, or a prolonged stagnation.Key Questions Answered
