Q. Recently, the world's largest direct air capture (DAC) plant – Mammoth- has started operations in which country?
Answer: Iceland
Notes: The Mammoth Direct Air Capture and Storage (DAC+S) plant, operated by Climeworks in Iceland, is the world's largest facility of its kind. It's the second commercial DAC+S plant by Climeworks, dwarfing its predecessor, Orca. DAC+S technology captures CO2 directly from the atmosphere, distinct from capture at emission points. CO2 can be permanently stored underground or utilized. Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) activities are crucial for achieving net-zero CO2 emissions, as per the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report.
