The Community Alliance for Direct Air Capture is using a
non-traditional, community-first approach to potentially build a direct
air capture hub in California’s Central Valley – a fossil fuel hotspot

could become a model for other infrastructure projects critical to
reaching the Biden administration’s climate goals. POLITICO’s Zack
Colman breaks down the alliance’s outreach efforts and the concerns from
community members. Plus, the European Union is internally at odds over
the topline greenhouse gas reduction target in its climate action plan
ahead of this year’s UN climate summit.
