HOW DAC WORKS

1PointFive is developing Carbon Engineering’s Direct Air Capture technology. This technology works by drawing air into a facility using a series of large fans. The air comes in contact with a chemical solution that binds to the CO2 molecules. The CO2-rich solution is then processed through a series of reactions that separate, purify and compress the CO2. The resulting CO2 can then be permanently stored or used as a feedstock for other products.
