This review critically assesses Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) of Direct Air Capture and Carbon Storage (DACCS) technologies, emphasizing environmental impact and effectiveness of these technologies. As global efforts to mitigate CO₂ emissions intensify, DACCS is increasingly viewed as a promising solution, yet its broader environmental implications require careful consideration. The review synthesizes findings from various LCA studies, revealing substantial variability in life cycle efficiency and environmental impacts across different DACCS systems.
