Direct air capture
open-in-new
<h2 id="methods-of-capture">Methods of capture</h2> <p>There are the three stages of CO2 capture in DAC: the contacting stage, the capture stage, and the separation stage. In the contacting stage, the DAC system transports atmospheric air containing CO2 to the equipment using large-scale fans. Subsequently, in the CO2 capture stage, CO2 rapidly and effectively binds with liquid solvents in chemical reactors or solid sorbents in filters, which must possess binding energies equivalent to that of CO2. Later in the CO2 separation stage, external energy sources facilitate the separation of CO2 from the solvents or sorbents, yielding pure CO2 and regenerated solvents or sorbents. Following the completion of these three stages, the separated pure CO2 is either utilized or stored, while the recovered solvents or sorbents are recycled for reuse in the CO2 capture process.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14"><sup>14</sup></a> </p><p>Generally, solid sorbents DAC (S-DAC) uses low temperature process DAC, while liquid (amine or metallic hydroxides) sorbents DAC (L-DAC) uses low or high temperature process.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:15" href="#fn:15"><sup>15</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:16" href="#fn:16"><sup>16</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:17" href="#fn:17"><sup>17</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:18" href="#fn:18"><sup>18</sup></a> S-DAC and L-DAC feature different properties in terms of kinetics and heat transfers.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:19" href="#fn:19"><sup>19</sup></a> Currently, L-DAC and S-DAC represent two mature technologies for industrial deployment.

direct air capture shortcomings</h2> <h3>BECCS project</h3> <p><a href="/facts/Bioenergy_with_carbon_capture_and_storage/hRndNuvQ">Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage</a> (BECCS) has come under scrutiny for a variety of reasons but primarily because the technology is energy intensive, requires large land changes/usage and has the potential to leak carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:230" href="#fn:230"><sup>230</sup></a> Environmentalists argued that BECCS was an infeasible option because of the emissions that the project would produce.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:231" href="#fn:231"><sup>231</sup></a> BECCS is proposed as a solution based on the assumption that bioenergy would be carbon neutral. This assumption was found to be incorrect because many believe that the deforestation, logging and land required to accommodate this technology would offset the amount of carbon the technology removes.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:232" href="#fn:232"><sup>232</sup></a> Individuals concerned with protecting animal life also argue that increasing demand for land for BECCS would be an additional threat to biodiversity. Opponents also argue that the risk of a Carbon Dioxide leak outweighs the potential benefits if the technology functions properly. Carbon dioxide that is stored underground has a high risk of leakage, and the consequences of a major leak could be catastrophic.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:233" href="#fn:233"><sup>233</sup></a> "Atmospheric CO2 levels could spike significantly, especially if a leak were to occur from a major storage site."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:234" href="#fn:234"><sup>234</sup></a> Anxiety surrounding the possibility of a CO2 leakage is common worry among those who doubt DAC.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:235" href="#fn:235"><sup>235</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="see-also">See also</h2> <ul><li><a href="/facts/Artificial_photosynthesis/heXLEFYw">Artificial photosynthesis</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Carbon_dioxide_removal/dY6ADxrJ">Carbon dioxide removal</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/CityTrees/EI7QemPt">CityTrees</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Smog_tower/yobSEYxJ">Smog tower</a></li></ul> <h2 id="references">References</h2> <ol> <li id="fn:1"><p>European Commission.
