Solar thermal energy-assisted direct air capture is widely considered as a novel carbon-negative technical route, innovatively enabling an effective removal of CO₂ directly from ambient air. Here, an advanced concept is introduced that involves the conversion of CO₂ captured by the solar thermal energy-assisted DAC into liquid methanol, simultaneously mitigating climate change and supplying green chemicals.
