DAC is expensive because the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is very low - only about 420 to 430 parts per million. This means a lot of energy is needed to process large volumes of air to capture each tonne of CO2.
Compressed carbon dioxide energy storage can be used to store at grid scale. The gas is well suited to this role because, unlike most gases, it liquifies under pressure at ambient temperatures, so occupies a small volume.
The power station, with a 300MW system, is claimed to be the largest compressed air energy storage power station in the world, with highest efficiency and lowest unit cost as well.

To date, 77 percent of global economies have a net-zero target, either proposed or legislated. 1 But with a key interim decarbonization milestone now under just five years away, the energy transition shows signs of slowing momentum-at precisely the time it needs to speed up if.
These systems offer long life, low cost, and high energy conversion efficiency. While energy storage is gradually transitioning from demonstration projects to commercial operations, its technical and economic performance is still limited, and it lacks economies of scale.
The US solar module market recorded a 4% price increase in December 2024, rising by $0. 26/W, the first uptick since summer. Prices have stabilized at that level, Anza said in its "Q1 2025 Solar Module Pricing Insights" report.
