Japan’s Kawasaki Heavy Industries said it has completed one of the country’s largest direct air capture (DAC) demonstration units at its Kobe plant, aiming to accelerate development of technology that removes carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere.
-
The 13-metre-tall facility can capture 100 to 200 tonnes of CO₂ a year using a proprietary sorbent that separates the gas at about 60°C, compared with the 100–120°C typically required by liquid absorption systems, the company said in a statement on 12 November.

It added that the lower temperature allows the process to run on factory waste heat, reducing energy use and environmental impact.
