The NCCC facility allows for real-life industrial operating conditions combined with the infrastructure to evaluate cutting-edge carbon capture, carbon conversion and DAC technologies for scale-up and future commercial adoption. The NCCC’s collaboration with developers such as SSEB, Aircapture and their partners represents a significant effort to leverage the NCCC’s highly specialized expertise and state-of-the-art facility to identify next-generation breakthroughs in carbon management technologies. We are very appreciative that our work with the NCCC and SSEB is helping us achieve this goal.” Creating a more sustainable energy future We aim to supply our customers with clean CO 2 removed from the atmosphere to radically improve the environment, the economy and our lives. “Demonstrating our modular, scalable DAC technology and producing market-ready CO 2 in real-world conditions at the NCCC is invaluable to our technology development and commercialization efforts. “We are proud to partner with the National Carbon Capture Center and Southern States Energy Board to create and scale a circular carbon economy,” said Matthew Atwood, founder and CEO of Aircapture. By leveraging the NCCC’s expertise in carbon management technologies, their assistance with the DAC technology and the use of their world-class facility, the project will help demonstrate and scale up a new DAC negative-carbon technology and advance it to commercial implementation,” said Southern States Energy Board Secretary and Executive Director Kenneth Nemeth. “The Southern States Energy Board is thrilled that the DAC RECO 2UP project was awarded funding for the first direct air capture testing at the National Carbon Capture Center. Aircapture has developed an integrated DAC system design – with thermal recovery and downstream processing – to increase overall system fidelity and produce high-quality CO 2 that can be used for sequestration or sold to industrial customers.įunded with support from the Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management and National Energy Technology Laboratory (DE-FE0031961), the experiments at the NCCC involve evaluating the efficiency and effectiveness of the DAC system, exploring different capture materials and optimizing CO 2 extraction and storage processes. The project’s technology demonstration involves using specialized equipment that pulls in ambient air, removes CO 2 molecules and subsequently isolates and concentrates them for safe storage or conversion into valuable products. The technology employs solid-amine adsorption-desorption contactor technology in integrated field units that produce a CO 2 stream of at least 95% purity using low-grade waste heat (often available in industrial and fossil fuel plant settings.) The NCCC is assisting with commercially relevant field testing after design, construction and initial testing by Aircapture. SSEB, Aircapture and other DAC RECO 2UP team members are working together to scale up and demonstrate a modular and scalable atmospheric CO 2 removal system. While many CO 2 extraction processes capture emissions from industrial sources, carbon removal technologies like DAC are designed to extract CO 2 directly from the air, from virtually anywhere, and can help address historical CO 2 emissions already present in our atmosphere. “Our staff’s expertise in hosting and supporting technology developers provides a great environment that can accelerate innovation in the direct air capture space.” Out of thin air “The National Carbon Capture Center has a strong history of supporting the development of post-combustion carbon capture technologies, and we are excited to build on the lessons learned and infrastructure from that work to expand our scope to include direct air capture technologies,” said John Carroll, NCCC principal research engineer.
