Direct Atmospheric Carbon Mineralization (DACM)

Direct Atmospheric Carbon Mineralization (DACM) is a climate technology that captures carbon dioxide directly from ambient air and chemically converts it into stable, inert mineral forms, primarily carbonates. This process mimics and significantly accelerates natural geological weathering, sequestering CO2 permanently and safely without requiring high temperatures or pressures. The resulting mineral products can be used in construction or other industries.

Why It Matters

DACM offers a direct and permanent pathway to remove legacy carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, significantly contributing to global climate change mitigation efforts by reversing accumulated emissions. Beyond its environmental benefits, it has the potential to create valuable mineral byproducts, transforming atmospheric carbon from a pollutant into a resource for sustainable materials and reducing the need for virgin materials.
