Direct Air Capture at Scale is a technology that captures carbon dioxide directly from the ambient air and stores it permanently or reuses it. This process can be used to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and mitigate climate change.
Direct Air Capture at Scale addresses the issue of hard-to-abate emissions by providing a method for removing carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere on a large scale.
Large fans push air through solid sorbents or liquid solvents, which capture CO2. Heat is then applied to release a concentrated stream of CO2 that can be stored underground in mineralized form.
The manufacturing process involves creating and scaling up the equipment used to capture CO2, including large fans, sorbents, solvents, and heating systems. The materials need to be durable and efficient in capturing CO2.
The build process includes designing the air capture units, selecting appropriate sorbents or solvents, setting up the necessary infrastructure for heat application, and integrating the system into a larger carbon removal network.
