Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology removes CO₂ directly from:

  1. Flue gases
  2. Ambient air
  3. Ocean water
  4. Soil

Answer: Ambient air

DAC uses chemical sorbents to capture CO₂ from atmosphere (~400 ppm), enabling negative emissions. Energy-intensive but crucial for hard-to-abate sectors. India's National Carbon Capture Program supports R&D. [[MoEFCC, DST Reports]]
