Abstract

Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) has been considered as an approach to mitigate CO2 emissions to achieve a net-zero target as indicated in the Paris Climate Agreement. Nevertheless, over 50% of global CO2 emissions stem from distributed sources; the incorporation of negative emission technologies (NETs) is required. Direct air capture (DAC) is recognized as one of the feasible NETs offering flexibility in installation location. This review primarily focuses on the utilization of solid sorbents, which demonstrate lower energy consumption and higher CO2/N2 selectivity compared to alternative methods (cryogenic distillation and amine scrubbing). It provides a comprehensive analysis of the…
