Agreed, it's a half step forward. Leaving fossil fuels underground is still progress, even if we aren't sequestering CO2 in the atmosphere.

I'm optimistic that building a market like this can drive design efficiency for direct air capture tech. If that efficiency is improved it could make capture and sequestration a more plausible option for govts in the future.

Fingers crossed!
