Cambridge Carbon Capture's Hybrid Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology offers parallel pathways to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Active, or engineered, DAC uses capital plant and energy to capture CO2 for storage or utilization. Additionally, the active plant manufactures absorbents for Passive DAC methods such as ocean alkalinity enhancement and accelerated weathering, which draw CO2 directly from the atmosphere and chemically sequester it in natural sinks.
