Direct Air Capture of COâ‚‚ with Chemicals (open access)

Direct Air Capture of COâ‚‚ with Chemicals

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