Techniques for low-power, large-scale direct air carbon capture via wind turbine

Abstract

According to various embodiments, a direct air capture system includes: a wind turbine that includes at least one blade that includes one or more openings, wherein, in operation, first air flows across the at least one blade, causing the wind turbine to generate electrical energy, and causing the one or more openings to receive second air; a conduit that fluidly couples the one or more openings to a carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption chamber that includes one or more amine-based CO2 adsorbers, wherein, in operation, the CO2 adsorption chamber receives the second air via the one or more openings; and a carbon desorption apparatus that desorbs CO2 from the one or more amine-based CO2 adsorbers.
