Abstract
A carbon dioxide capture system for a motor-vehicle is arranged to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere when the vehicle is in motion. The system has a carbon dioxide capture module mounted on a wheel arch of the vehicle, wherein the capture module includes an adsorbent cartridge made of adsorbent material suitable for retaining carbon dioxide, and a hollow casing containing the cartridge. The hollow casing has at least one inlet opening for the entry of an airflow into the casing, to be treated with the cartridge, and at least one outlet opening for releasing carbon dioxide-free air.
