CACTUS: CO2 Aerogel Capture Towards Utilization and Sequestration
Information Sheets
NANOPOROUS AEROGELS ENABLE UNPRECEDENTED MOISTURE SWING ADSORPTION PERFORMANCE
The Palo Alto Research Center, (PARC) in collaboration with Creare, LLC and Arizona State University are developing a novel solid sorbent and air contactor prototype for Direct Air Capture (DAC) of carbon dioxide. CACTUS will yield substantial improvements to sorbent material and carbon-capture process cost, drastically improving the economic viability of DAC using the breakthrough Moisture-Swing Adsorption (MSA) mechanism.
