A Novel Hybrid CO2 Capture System from the Atmosphere (DAC)

Abstract The global energy transition has intensified the search for effective carbon capture and storage (CCS) methods, emphasizing the urgent need to combat climate change. Among these methods, direct air capture (DAC) has emerged as a crucial area of research due to its potential for removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. However, existing DAC processes face challenges such as high energy consumption and cost, primarily stemming from the low concentration of CO2 in ambient air. This presentation introduces, an innovative capture technology designed to overcome these challenges. At its core, the terchnology incorporates a novel hybrid sorbent that combines the strengths of both liquids and solids (called liquid amine particles, LAPs), resulting in superior performance compared to traditional carbon capture technologies. This presentation provides an overview of the development and current status of this technology, highlighting its potential to achieve the lowest levelized cost of capture.
