Consistent and scaling investment in careful direct air capture deployment over the 21st century can result in annual CO2 reductions of 5 GT by 2050 and 40 GT by 2100. For reference: in 2019, the world emitted 51 gigatons of CO2-equivalent greenhouse gases. Project Drawdown estimates we need to cumulatively eliminate 1,000 GT from 2020-2050 to keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius.
