Electricity Driven Direct Air Capture (DAC) Unit Project

Electricity driven Direct Air Capture (DAC) unit

Objective

• We propose to set up an innovative electricity-driven DAC that is energy-efficient and easy to install and operate.

Description

• Directly capturing CO2 from the atmosphere, known as direct air capture (DAC), is an exciting technology, but it is expensive and suffers from operational challenges. In the context of DAC, electricity use can be a game changer. Electricity can quickly heat a DAC unit energy-efficiently and with minimal additional accessories. Moreover, these electricity-driven DACs can be installed in low utility land away from urban areas or near solar and wind farm.

Impact

• A clean electricity-driven direct air capture (DAC) unit., Testing of the DAC unit for a wide range of test conditions., Training of human resources in a niche area of electricity-driven chemical processes and CO2 capture technologies.
