Combining liquid-based direct air capture with compressed air energy storage

Scientists in China have simulated a system that combines liquid-based direct air capture with diabatic compressed air energy storage, for the benefit of both processes. Exploring its economic feasibility, they found the system could achieve a levelized cost of energy of $0.53/kWh and a levelized cost of CO2 captured from air of $259/tCO2.A research group led by China's East China University of Science and Technology and Tongji University has pr…

Science advances with increasingly innovative solutions to combat climate change and improve energy efficiency. A team of researchers from the University of Tohoku has developed a new method for synthesizing porous organic polymers (POPs) with improved capacity to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) and energy storage applications. This discovery is an important advance, since these materials have a structure free of impurities, which improves their pe…
