Scientists in the US have made an advance toward a viable process for direct air capture (DAC) of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
One approach to DAC is to utilise liquid solvents and solid sorbents to chemically absorb CO2 from air streams that can later be processed to desorb and recover CO2.
