Direct Air Capture of CO₂ with Chemicals (open access)

Direct Air Capture of CO₂ with Chemicals

This report explores direct air capture (DAC) of carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere with chemicals. DAC involves a system in which ambient air flows over a chemical sorbent that selectively removes the CO₂. The CO₂ is then released as a concentrated stream for disposal or reuse, while the sorbent is regenerated and the CO₂-depleted air is returned to the atmosphere.
