Fast swing direct air carbon capture
This carbon capture the technology is developed at Carbyon (see: companies working on carbon capture). It is based on using a composite fiber of potassium carbonate, that enhances the total surface are through which air flows and leads to higher chances of getting a
One of the challenges is that water competes for binding sites, which means that in high humidity places, the capture efficiency can be altered.
An interesting aspect of the technology is that carbon will desorb at around
The target energy consumption of Carbyon is set at
According to "our world in data", emissions for energy generation is
The secret is to use very low emission energy sources (for instance, by switching on/off when there's excess wind available).
