Project Overview Overall Project Objectives Cultivate a dilute source CO 2 DAC technology that can be applied to re-capture legacy coal-based emissions directly from the atmosphere Develop a better understanding of DAC performance through lab and pilot study, and codify the results in TEA format 4
DAC: Direct Air Capture of CO 2 Inputs: Air, water, energy. Strategic and Transformative Technology: • Negative Emission Technology • Can locate anywhere • Manages emissions from any source • Highly scale-able DAC Compared to CCS : • Higher thermodynamic barrier Output: CO 2 • Larger air volume to be processed storage, industrial use, or fuel production
