Here comes another series of #PowerUpYourKnowledge series What is #DirectAirCapture #DAC 👉DAC is a technology designed to remove carbon dioxide (CO₂) directly from the atmosphere 👉Using fans, air is drawn into systems where #CO2 is captured through chemical reactions with either solid sorbents or liquid solvents 👉The captured CO₂ is released through heat or pressure and can be reused in products like fuels or stored in geological formations (underground) 👉DAC complements emission reduction efforts by addressing hard-to-abate sectors 👉However, DAC faces challenges such as high #energy #demands and #costs, limiting widespread adoption #energytransition #carbon #climateaction #climatechange Link to a video explanation of the technology - https://lnkd.in/dzkmRv5G
