Audi partnering with Climeworks on CO2 direct air capture and storage

Green Car Congress

C using waste heat from a nearby geothermal plant to release the CO 2 molecules. The facility first draws in air and feeds it into the CO 2 collector, which contains a selective filter material. This uses a specially developed adsorbent to bind the CO 2 in the air. When this filter is saturated with CO 2 , it is heated to 100 ?C
