First, an investigation of the co-adsorption of water and CO<sub>2</sub> onto a benchmark amine-functionalised adsorbent. Following on from this is a detailed process modelling and optimisation study of this sorbents performance in a direct air capture process. Next is a demonstration how the results are affected by the co-adsorption descriptions. Finally, a comparison between the modelled direct air capture process to existing and literature processes to benchmark the energy consumption of direct air capture.

Direct air capture (DAC) is an auspicious technology in pursuing negative CO2 emissions. A promising process is temperature vacuum swing adsorption (TVSA) employing amine functionalised adsorbents such as Lewatit® VP...

<p>This analysis investigates the cost of carbon capture from the US natural gas-fired electricity generating fleet comparing two technologies: Post-Combustion Capture and Direct Air Capture (DAC). Many Natural Gas Combined Cycle (NGCC) units are suitable for post-combustion capture. We estimated the cost of post-combustion retrofits and investigated the most important unit characteristics contributing to this cost. Units larger than 350 MW, younger than 15 years, more efficient than 42% and with a utilization (capacity factor) higher than 0.5 are economically retrofittable. Counterintuitively, DAC (which is usually not considered for point-source capture) may be cheaper in addressing emissions from non-retrofittable NGCCs. DAC can also address the residual emissions from retrofitted plants. Moreover, economic challenges of post-combustion capture for small natural gas-fired units with low utilization, such as gas turbines, make DAC look favorable for these units. Considering the cost of post-combustion capture for the entire natural gas-related emissions after incorporating the impact of learning-by-doing for both carbon capture technologies, DAC is the cheaper capture solution for at least 1/3 of all emissions. </p>
