Abstract

Direct Air Capture (DAC) offers a promising pathway for combating climate change by removing carbon dioxide (CO2) directly from the atmosphere. Here, we discuss Heirloom’s approach to DAC, which uses naturally occurring minerals, namely, calcium carbonate (CaCO3), in a cyclic process that leverages warehouse automation systems previously developed for large warehouses. The integration of DAC with warehouse automation systems unlocks a degree of manufacturability, scalability, operational efficiency, and financial viability. For successful scaling, DAC technologies and project developers must think through key scalability constraints, including modularity, constructability, supply chains, and leveraging existing infrastructure.

利用仓库自动化技术实现可扩展和低成本的直接空气捕获

直接空气捕集（DAC）通过直接从大气中去除二氧化碳（CO2），为应对气候变化提供了一条前景广阔的途径。在此，我们将讨论 Heirloom 公司的 DAC 方法，该方法利用天然矿物质，即碳酸钙 (CaCO3)，在一个循环过程中利用以前为大型仓库开发的仓库自动化系统。DAC 与仓库自动化系统的整合在一定程度上提高了可制造性、可扩展性、运营效率和财务可行性。为了成功扩展，DAC 技术和项目开发人员必须考虑到关键的可扩展性限制，包括模块化、可构建性、供应链和利用现有基础设施。
