TL;DR

Researchers have developed a method for capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere using geothermal energy, as outlined in a study published in Environmental Research Letters. The proposed system, called Direct Air CO2 Capture with CO2 Utilization and Storage (DACCUS), combines direct air carbon dioxide capture technologies and geothermal energy to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it underground. The study suggests that this approach could help mitigate climate change and meet the goal of limiting Earth's warming, with potential for large-scale deployment in regions with ample geothermal resources.
