Technology Description
Carbon Collect's MechanicalTree is a 10-meter-tall column equipped with sorbent discs that captures CO2 from the air via passive direct Air Capture (PDAC). Unlike most other direct air capture (DAC) technologies, the MechanicalTree concept does not require fans for driving ambient air into the capture column. Captured CO2 is released via a regeneration process that depends on the sorbent type. The MechanicalTree is reported to have the capacity to capture 80kg CO2/day and uses location-specific sorbents. Carbon Collect states that this design has the potential to capture 1000 times more CO2 than natural trees.
