Mitigating Climate Impact through Effective CO2 Adsorption with Solid Sorbents by Direct Air Capture
Project Type: Self-Initiated
Project Description
CO₂ levels in the atmosphere continue to rise, intensifying climate change and environmental challenges. Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology enables the removal of CO₂ directly from ambient air to achieve negative emissions. This project develops a compact DAC prototype using solid sorbents and controlled regeneration to support scalable carbon-removal solutions. The project delivers a compact DAC prototype integrating automated sensing, renewable-ready control, and multi-variable analysis. It shows reliable CO₂ capture, consistent sorbent cycling, and strong data validation. With improved housing, heating, and modular sorbent cartridges, it can become a low-cost, scalable DAC for homes, schools, and remote sites.
