Product Description
This case study provides cost and performance estimates for a solvent-based direct air capture (DAC) system at varying scales. The performance of the DAC system is largely based upon vendor performance while the costs of the system were developed as independently as possible. This study is representative of an example DAC system configuration and is not an optimized design.
