Abstract:The cost and efficiency of direct air capture (DAC) of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) will be decisive in determining whether this technology can play a large role in decarbonization. To probe the role of meteorological conditions on DAC we examine, at 1 × 1°resolution for the continental United States (U.S.), the impacts of temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, and CO 2 concentration for a representative amine-based adsorption process. Spatial and temporal variations in atmospheric pressure and CO 2 concentrat… Show more
