Let's not downplay the fact that @Airhive2050 just waltzed in at a price of $530 per ton. 943 tonnes largest DAC purchase of the 3rd cycle and a big nod of confidence from Frontier to the London-based outfit 👏 👏

New @IEA tracker update on DAC finds there are plans for at least 130(!) DAC facilities in the works, and if all were to be successfully developed, DAC would hit the level required by 2030 for IEA's Net Zero by 2050 scenario!

My thoughts: - CfDs have been super catalytic for the renewable industry in unlocking serious finance. I think the Govt. chose well here knowing that the price of DACCS will come down significantly in the next 10 years thus reducing their level of support
