International Journal of Hydrogen Energy – A techno-economic and environmental evaluation of the integration of direct air capture with hydrogen derivatives production

[ad_1] Abstract:Carbon-neutral fuels are key to decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors. Solar redox cycles can produce them by creating oxygen vacancies in a metal oxide capable of splitting water and CO2. The resulting synthesis gas can be processed into a liquid fuel like methanol. To close the carbon cycle, feedstock CO2 can be captured from the atmosphere
