Direct Air Carbon Capture and Storage (DACCS)

Direct Air Carbon Capture and Storage (DACCS)

(Electro)chemically removing CO2 from air

PREMISE

Carbon dioxide can be absorbed directly from the atmosphere using sorbents with a strong affinity for CO2 or organic materials attached to a porous solid support. The carbon absorbed needs to be subsequently stored at geological sites.

AMBITION

DACCS has the potential to provide a significant contribution to global CDR. The high-energy demand at the moment represents the main limitation to the rapid scaling of DACCS plants.
