This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the global Direct Air Carbon Capture and Sequestration (DACCS) innovation system using the Technological Innovation Systems (TIS) framework, focusing on identifying systemic policy problems and suggesting policy leverage points. Through 34 semi-structured interviews with 37 key actors across Europe and North America, this study captures the current state and challenges within the DACCS innovation system. It offers insights on the status quo concerning entrepreneurial activities, knowledge creation and diffusion, supportive policy, market formation, resource mobilization, as well as public and local legitimacy issues.
