Carbon180

Carbon180 is the carbon-removal policy organization represented by Aaron Burns in The high cost of vacuuming carbon from the sky. The episode uses Burns to explain why federal support for Direct Air Capture did not simply disappear under the Trump administration: some projects lost Biden-era funding, while [[UnitedStatesCongress|Congress]] protected hubs in Louisiana and Texas.

Carbon180’s wiki role is the policy and coalition layer around Carbon Removal. Burns argues that support remains bipartisan in some host states, which makes the organization useful for connecting direct-air-capture technology to Carbon Removal Political Durability rather than only to chemistry or startup economics.
