Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
This is a direct air capture module engineered by Airbus, using solid-amine filter technology derived from International Space Station life-support systems, that Deep Sky operates at its Alpha carbon-removal research site. Ambient air passes through the amine filter to bind atmospheric CO2, and heating the filter afterward drives off a concentrated CO2 stream for storage while returning CO2-reduced air to the atmosphere.
