Abstract: A method of capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) present in air is provided. The method includes adding a carbon-dioxide-capturing device to a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system of a building. The carbon-dioxide-capturing device is added to one or both of an air handler and air-distribution ductwork of the HVAC system. The method further includes circulating air including carbon dioxide through the carbon-dioxide-capturing device in the HVAC system. A direct decarbonization system for capturing carbon dioxide present in air is also provided. The system includes an HVAC unit, air-distribution ductwork connected to the HVAC unit, and a carbon-dioxide-capturing device disposed in one or both of the HVAC unit and the air-distribution ductwork. Carbon dioxide gas present in air passing through the HVAC unit or the air-distribution ductwork is removable from the air by the carbon-dioxide-capturing device.

Abstract: A method for regenerating a bis(iminoguanidine) (BIG) carbon dioxide sorbent, the method comprising: (i) providing a carbonate or bicarbonate salt of the BIG carbon dioxide sorbent, and (ii) directly contacting the carbonate or bicarbonate salt of the BIG carbon dioxide sorbent with steam heated to a temperature within a range of 80° C.-130° C. to result in regeneration of the BIG carbon dioxide sorbent with simultaneous conversion of the carbonate or bicarbonate anions into carbon dioxide, wherein the regenerated BIG carbon dioxide sorbent is substantially removed of carbonate or bicarbonate and may optionally contain one or more adduct water molecules. In some processes, the regenerated BIG carbon dioxide sorbent is dissolved in water condensing from the steam during the contacting step to form an aqueous solution of the regenerated BIG carbon dioxide sorbent.

Abstract: A high-flux direct air capture (DAC) contactor is provided. The contactor includes stainless steel mesh elements interlaced into a structured packing to increase the effective surface area for a suitable solvent. In laboratory testing, the contactor demonstrated significant potential in driving down the cost of solvent absorption-based DAC due to its high specific surface area and CO2 uptake efficiency, resistance to corrosion, optimal wettability, smaller relative size, and low manufacturing cost. As a potential breakthrough strategy, the highly efficient CO2 capture contactor can be employed to significantly reduce capital costs in a compact DAC system.

Abstract: A solar-thermal vapor-permeation membrane is provided. The solar-thermal vapor-permeation membrane includes a thermally conductive, microporous support layer having a feed surface, and an active separation layer adjacent the feed surface of the support layer. The support layer is capable of absorbing solar-thermal radiation. Utilization of solar energy for a membrane separation process replaces fossil-fuel derived energy with renewable energy as the driving force and does not involve the generation of undesirable greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, the solar-thermal vapor-permeation process using the provided membrane is cost effective, energy efficient, and environmentally friendly.
