The Chimney for CO2 Direct Air Capture – Enhanced Airflow for Capture

Background The removal of CO2 from the atmosphere through direct air capture (DAC) can help to stabilize the planet’s climate. There is a need for large-scale negative emission systems as more CO2 will need to be captured and stored in the future. There are existing DAC systems for carbon capture using airflow, which can use large fans to bring...

Reprocessable Sorbents for Direct Air Capture of CO2

Background Negative emission technologies, including direct air capture (DAC), are a critical solution needed to reduce carbon emissions and lead to a net-zero scenario. DAC solutions are a viable solution that present many advantages, but generate increased demand for low-cost CO2 sorbents, due to greater amounts of material needed to effectively...
