• Aramco is partnering with Siemens Energy AG to develop a small-scale direct air capture “test unit,” which is set to be finished in 2024.
  • Direct air capture, or DAC, works by extracting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and converting it into solid or liquid forms to be stored underground.
  • Some experts say that DAC is too expensive and yields too little results to be a viable carbon reduction strategy.
