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 absorption 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.

A direct-air carbon-capture system, comprising:
- a wind turbine
- a carbon dioxide (CO2) capture apparatus that is coupled to the wind turbine and that captures CO2 from air;
- and
- a carbon release apparatus that is coupled to the CO2 capture apparatus and that releases the captured CO2 from the CO2 capture apparatus.
A direct-air carbon-capture system, comprising:
- a wind turbine that includes at least one blade;
- a carbon dioxide (CO2) capture material disposed on the at least one blade or within the at least one blade;
- and
- a CO2 desorption apparatus that is coupled to the at least one blade and that desorbs CO2 from the CO2 capture material.
