sorbent

In addition to daily water production, sorbent materials that harvest atmosphere water could also play an important role in future applications such as dehumidification, agriculture irrigation, and thermal management for electronic devices.

Traditional carbon capture methods use sorbents to capture CO2 at point-of-source locations, and then use heat or generated vacuums to release CO2 from the sorbent.

The air passes over a special solid sorbent filter that traps the carbon dioxide.

Climeworks also intends to derive savings from improvements to crucial materials, like the sorbent that catches the CO₂.

About 3,000 feet of hard boom have been put out, and sorbent material and skimmers are collecting the oil.
