Track; not yet
- Why
- Genuinely operational and well-funded (live Aug-Nov 2025, $40M Breakthrough Energy Catalyst, Microsoft/RBC offtake), but the Airbus unit is a 250 t/yr demonstration on a ~3,000 t/yr testbed — credible and worth monitoring, not yet a mature procurement-grade carbon-removal supply.
- Next
- Watch for published cost-per-ton and verified MRV'd removal volumes from the Airbus unit and the multi-vendor Alpha testbed through 2026-2027 before treating any single DAC modality as adoptable
