What the Inflation Reduction Act Means for Direct Air Capture 0822.rtf
The tax credit awarded companies for CO2 captured and durably stored was raised from $50 to $180 per tonne. For CO2 captured and utilized (concrete, carbonation, oil extraction, etc.), the increase was from $35 to $130 per tonne. Minimum capture to claim the credits is reduced to 1,000 tonnes / year. Smaller projects can receive direct pay for the full value of the credits for the projects 1st 5 years. Also, the deadline to build eligibale facilities ws extended 7 years. The Act also provides $2.15 billion for low-carbon buildings and use of low-carbon materials. This benefits companies such as CarbonCure and CarbonBuilt,which incorporate captured CO2 into building materials.
