Advancing Direct Air Capture and Storage (DACCS): Unveiling Sustainability Through Life Cycle Assessment
Victor Eke's research, under the supervision of Prof. Paul O’Brien and Prof. Marina Freire-Gormaly at York University, focuses on the life cycle assessment (LCA) of Direct Air Capture and Storage (DACCS) technologies. This critical review evaluates the efficiency, scalability, and environmental impact of both liquid solvent-based and solid sorbent-based DACCS systems. The study highlights the potential of DACCS in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, with a specific emphasis on identifying knowledge gaps and future research directions. The findings indicate that solid sorbents outperform liquid solvents in terms of carbon efficiency and lower net greenhouse gas emissions.
