Separating and Capturing CO2 in Ambient Air

Separating and capturing CO2 from ambient air refers to methods used to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This process is essential for combating climate change, as excess CO2 contributes to global warming. Technologies like Direct Air Capture use chemical reactions or filters to collect CO2 directly from the air. Once captured, the CO2 can be stored underground or used in various applications, such as producing fuel or enhancing plant growth. By reducing atmospheric CO2 levels, these methods aim to help balance the Earth's carbon cycle and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
