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...

CO2 Capture & Harvest with Turbulence
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...
