Emadi, M., Barahimi, V., & Croiset, E. (2025). Integrated direct air CO2 capture and solid oxide electrolyzer for sustainable chemical production: Case studies of methanol and synthesis fuel. Journal of CO2 Utilization, 96, 103096.

This paper presents a comprehensive study of a novel system aimed at producing chemicals from CO2 captured from the atmosphere by integrating direct air capture (DAC) and solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC). Two case studies for the chemical produced were considered: CO2 to methanol and CO2 to synthetic fuel (synfuel). All scenarios were based on a DAC system capturing 250,000 tonnes per year of CO2 from the atmosphere.
