The direct air capture (DAC) technology possesses transformative potential for achieving negative emissions. However, challenges such as massive energy consumption, low capture efficiency, and supply chain concerns have impeded their large-scale implementation. Process Systems Engineering (PSE) is expected to address these challenges and bridge existing gaps. This paper first conducts a bibliometric analysis of 1171 DAC-related research papers published between 2015 and 2025. The authors then classify recent representative DAC studies through the lens of PSE.
