Liquid Solvents or Solid Sorbents? The Energy Trade-Offs That Shape Direct Air Capture
Direct air capture (DAC) technologies primarily use either liquid solvents or solid sorbents to capture CO2 from the air. The choice between these methods hinges on their vastly different energy demands, particularly the temperature required for regeneration, influencing cost and feasibility.
