The DAC technology is in early stages of commercialization and will require multibillion-dollar investments to prove it can work economically and generate profits. President Joe Biden's administration views DAC technology as a tool to help meet a goal of neutralizing emissions by 2050, if it can be commercialized and applied at industrial scale. While carbon capture is applied to emissions produced at industrial facilities, DAC actively removes CO2 from the air. Some of that money will fund Occidental's 30 proposed DAC plants in Kleberg Country, Texas.

That includes a $35 million government procurement program for carbon removal credits, and funding for 14 feasibility studies and 5 engineering and design studies for earlier-stage hub projects. Worsening climate change and inadequate efforts to cut emissions have thrust carbon removal into the spotlight. Although most environmental activists acknowledge that carbon removal will be needed for global climate targets to be met, they are concerned companies could use carbon removal development to give fossil fuel companies cover to maintain production, especially in minority and low-income areas. Erin Burns, director of carbon removal advisory firm Carbon180, said the United States is positioning itself as a leader in this technology. "This is the first major federal investment from any country on carbon removal at this level," Burns said.
