Life-cycle assessment of an industrial direct air capture process based on temperature-vacuum swing adsorption

Sarah Deutz et al.

Summary: Direct air capture technology can achieve negative emissions, but its benefits depend on the energy source. Large-scale deployment of direct air capture is not limited by material and energy availability, but the production of amines for adsorbents needs to be scaled up. Energy source and efficiency are crucial for achieving negative emissions and low-carbon fuels with direct air capture.

The importance of temporal resolution in modeling deep decarbonization of the electric power sector

John E. T. Bistline

Summary: High temporal resolution has significant impacts on investments and costs in the power sector, with simplified temporal aggregation methods often underestimating the value of broader technological portfolios, firm low-emitting technologies, wind generation, and energy storage resources, while potentially overestimating the value of solar generation.
