CARBON BLADE
SOLUTIONS
Capturing and Using CO at the Source
2
Carbon dioxide is a required raw material for many industries and Carbon Blade has a solution that enables co-locating CO2 capture and utilization in a distributed and economically attractive way.
24-FOOT CONTAINER
The Carbon Blade DAC system is packaged in a 24-foot container and operates in a cyclic process. An air contactor equipped with rotating blades sits on top of the container which draws in atmospheric air and captures the carbon dioxide through a capture solution that is distributed to the rotating blades. The capture solution and carbon dioxide are separated through chemical processes that require significantly less energy than other DAC technologies.
UCSD RESEARCH
UC San Diego is providing Carbon Blade with a demonstration site at the newly constructed Power Islanding and Energy Storage Integration Lab (ESIL) located next to the East Campus Utilities Plant. UC San Diego researchers will be operating the direct air capture system and will be utilizing the captured carbon dioxide to produce a byproduct that will be turned into blocks on site.
