Technical, economic and lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions analyses of solid sorbent direct air capture technologies by Sylvanus Lilonfe, Sarah Rodgers, Amir F.N. Abdul-Manan, Ioanna Dimitriou, Jon McKechnie

“…The cost and GHG emissions of the five solid sorbents ranged from $20241,200–40,400/t sorbent and 3.1–12.3 tCO2e/t sorbent in 2024, respectively, mainly driven by the raw materials used for sorbent manufacture. Cost estimates for the best capture technologies ranged from $202497–168/gross tCO2 captured [$2024126–170/net tCO2 captured] in 2025 and can be further reduced to $202487–140/gross tCO2 captured [$202493–142/net tCO2 captured] in 2050. …”
