Mitigating Climate Impact through Effective CO2 Adsorption with Solid Sorbents by Direct Air Capture

Project Type: Self-Initiated

Project Description

COط£آ¢أ¢â‚¬ع‘أ¢â‚¬ع‘ levels in the atmosphere continue to rise, intensifying climate change and environmental challenges. Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology enables the removal of COط£آ¢أ¢â‚¬ع‘أ¢â‚¬ع‘ 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 COط£آ¢أ¢â‚¬ع‘أ¢â‚¬ع‘ 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.
