# Direct Air Capture Innovations: The Future of Climate Action

### About The Webinar

Join us for the second episode of the Patch Project Showcase, a monthly webinar series highlighting innovative frontier Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) technologies. In this episode, we'll be featuring two companies that are developing cutting-edge Direct Air Capture (DAC) technologies: AspiraDAC and CarbonCapture Inc.

Julian Turecek, Managing Director at AspiraDAC, will speak about their DAC technology that captures CO2 from the air using a novel process based on adsorption, and Patricia Loria, VP, Business Development at CarbonCapture Inc., will talk about how their DAC systems capture CO2 using temperature vacuum swing adsorption with solid sorbents designed for scalability and rapid upgrades. Together, they will discuss how these innovative technologies are addressing a major challenge of our time.

### In this webinar, you’ll learn:

- The potential of DAC as a technology to contribute to the gigaton-scale volume of carbon removal required by mid-century (IPCC).
- The main challenges these companies face in scaling up, including access to finance, lack of subsidies, energy usage, elevated price point, and the potentially limiting size of the voluntary carbon market (VCM).
