Claim classifier

A quick boundary check for carbon claims. It does not replace a literature review, but it shows which missing facts decide whether a sentence can mean removal, avoided emissions, displacement or something weaker.

Direct air capture: Removal candidate

The claim cannot be classified yet. Ask first where the CO2 came from and where the carbon ends up.

Carbon fate
Pulled from ambient air, then only becomes removal if stored durably.
Failure mode
The capture figure alone is not the removal figure.

Evidence to ask for

  • Energy source and full lifecycle emissions
  • Storage permanence and monitoring plan
  • Whether quoted costs are measured operation or future projection
