Indoor CO2 direct air capture and utilization: Key strategies towards carbon neutrality

Cleaner Engineering and Technology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 20, P. 100746 - 100746

Published: April 6, 2024

Direct air capture (DAC) is a promising technology that can help to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. One application of DAC indoor CO2 direct (iCO2-DAC). A wide range materials with unique properties for have been investigated, including porous materials, zeolites, and metal-organic frameworks. The selection suitable iCO2-DAC depends on several factors, such as cost, adsorption capacity, stability. development new improved an active research area. captured serve renewable source produce biofuels internal use (e.g., heating purposes), decreasing environmental impact buildings. This review article highlights importance improve quality in buildings boost circular economy. We discuss available technologies discussing their focusing those potentially applicable environments. also provide hypothetic scenario where different environments transformed into sustainable fuels by using emerging utilization (microbial electrosynthesis). Finally, we evaluate economic feasibility innovative approach comparison traditional, fossil-based fuels.
