The Carbon Capture Cambrian Explosion: A Technological Gold Rush

Within the next 15 years, we will witness a Cambrian explosion in carbon capture technologies, moving beyond nascent pilot projects to widespread commercial deployment driven by a confluence of factors: significantly improved cost-effectiveness, supportive government regulations and carbon pricing mechanisms, and the emergence of innovative direct air capture methods coupled with profitable carbon utilization pathways. This will lead to a substantial, albeit initially localized, reduction in atmospheric CO2 levels, reshaping global energy and industrial landscapes.
