The growing need for carbon-neutral chemical production requires integrated solutions that couple direct air capture (DAC) with renewable process heat and hydrogen generation. This study proposes and evaluates a Bioenergy-Driven Direct Air Capture (Bio-DAC) system that integrates biomass gasification, liquid-sorbent DAC, and solid-oxide electrolysis cells for the sustainable liquid hydrogen-carriers production. A comprehensive framework combining process simulation, pinch analysis, techno-economic analysis, and life cycle carbon assessment was employed to optimize system efficiency, profitability, and environmental performance.
