The Governing Council of the University of Toronto

Project Objectives

The objective of this Project is to leverage low-cost renewable electricity sources using an all-electric Direct Air Capture (eDAC) removal process to capture and concentrate atmospheric CO₂ into a pure stream for geological storage or utilization in the CO₂ market.

Expected Results

This project aims to:

1. Utilize affordable renewable electricity to power a direct air capture process, concentrating atmospheric CO2 for geological storage or CO₂ market use.
2. Develop a scalable electrochemical regeneration system suitable for global deployment.
3. Reduce the energy requirements for carbon capture.
4. Anticipate new IP due to advancements in catalysts or material formulations.
