DAC Hub infrastructure can provide economic value and environmental benefits for diverse applications across multiple sectors. However, if the nation is to achieve widespread DAC commercialization and realize these benefits, key challenges to the development and deployment of DAC must be overcome. These challenges include cost, durability, reliability, and performance, as well as the lack of existing DAC infrastructure capturing at least 50 kilotonnes per annum (KTA) carbon dioxide (CO2) or a DAC Hub capacity build-out plan to eventually reach the goal of at least 1,000 KTA CO2. Non-technical barriers also need to be addressed, such as fostering best practices for safety, and developing a robust supply chain and workforce. Accordingly, there is a need to reduce the cost of DAC infrastructure through E:\FR\FM\01NON1.SGM 01NON1
