The Carbon Capture Colossus: 2043’s Climate Tech Landscape

By 2043, direct air capture (DAC) technology, coupled with advanced geological storage solutions and powered by a global network of renewable energy sources, will have transitioned from niche application to a globally significant carbon removal infrastructure, playing a crucial, albeit still insufficient, role in mitigating the worst effects of climate change. However, the true success will hinge not just on technological advancement, but on a fundamental shift in global governance and economic incentives to prioritize large-scale deployment and sustainable funding.
