Background Carbon dioxide (CO2) removal from the atmosphere is a critical factor in mitigating climate change. There are many current technologies being used for CO2 capture, including CO2 removal technologies from ambient air. These technologies typically use sorbent materials or mechanisms that involve laminar flow of air, which can sometimes provide...

Design and Application of Form Factors for Sorbent Materials

Background Many current air-capture designs feature flat air contactor surfaces with air flow predominantly tangential to those surfaces. In many cases, it may be advantageous to induce some turbulence across the sheet to enhance transport into the depth of the material. In general, it is advantageous to create surface roughness that is designed to...

Moveable Panel for CO2 Capture

The need for technologies to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from ambient air has been well established. In addition to conservation, reduced-carbon processes, and on-site capture efforts, a significant amount of CO2 will need to be removed from the atmosphere to avoid a looming climate change crisis. Nevertheless, the technologies are still new and the...

Cork-Screw Passive CO2 Capture

Background Capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the environment is an important mechanism in the fight against climate change. More specifically, the capture of CO2 from ambient air at an affordable price could become a critical tool in managing the anthropogenic carbon cycle. Efficient air capture technology would increase the number of options...
