Direct Air Carbon Capture versus Bioenergy Carbon Capture and Storage

Current climate models predict that between 2030 and 2052, global surface temperatures will likely rise by 1.5 °C if human activities continue at their current pace. Here, the technologies addressing global warming, Direct Air Carbon Capture (DACCS) and Bioenergy Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS), are discussed.
