This book provides an overview of the DAC (direct air capture) technology, starting with an overview in Chapter 1 of major climate change events, moving into a comprehensive review of negative emission technologies in Chapter 2. Chapter 2 covers some of the challenges associated and the feasibility of utilizing such a process for large-scale applications. Chapter 3 presents a literature review of sorbents under investigation. The advantages and disadvantages of each approach are extracted from literature results and are summarized along with areas of ongoing work. Parallel to ongoing research on developing high-performing sorbents, companies and startups have begun testing pilot to commercial scale DAC plants. Chapter 4 summarizes the efforts of such institutions. Global CO2 markets under development to construct commercialization pathways for DAC, such as enhanced oil recovery, synthetic fuels, cement, greenhouses, and food and beverages, are also reviewed.
