**Summary:**

* * *

1. **Historic Carbon Capture Deal**  
Google has inked a $10 million agreement with startup Holocene to capture 100,000 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere. The deal sets a new low price for direct air capture (DAC) at $100 per ton, supported by the US government’s 45Q tax credit.

2. **Innovative DAC Technology**  
Holocene’s method involves passing air through a waterfall with amino acids that bind CO2, which is then turned into a solid crystal. This solid is heated to release pure CO2 for storage, a process aiming to capture 100,000 tons of CO2 by the early 2030s.

3. **Funding and Future Goals**  
Google is providing upfront funds for the project, with no guaranteed outcomes, reflecting a new approach to supporting the scaling of carbon removal technologies.
