Carbon Engineering Technology: How it Works
The system works by pulling air into a large air contactor system, which looks like a cooling tower with a series of giant fans. The air comes in contact with a potassium hydroxide solution where a chemical reaction happens. It is here that the CO2 molecules chemically bind to the potassium hydroxide, trapping them in a liquid solution.
The CO2 trapped in this carbonate solution is then put through a series of chemical processes to increase its concentration while purifying and compressing it—delivering it in gas form ready to be used or stored underground.
This is all done in a system that uses known equipment and processes from other large industries, and reuses the same capture chemicals over and over—make it a scalable and affordable tool for capturing large amounts of CO2 from the air.
