Direct Air Capture (1Point5)-Safira

Direct Air Capture (DAC) Andriani(sa4307)

Technology that removes carbon dioxide (CO₂)
from the atmosphere.

• The air mixes with chemical

solution that binds to the
CO₂ molecules.
• CO₂ is either permanently
stored in underground
reservoirs or used to make
new products such as
building materials and low-
carbon fuels.
