In this novel approach, "a thermodynamic model was constructed using psychometric theories to model the #desublimation of CO2 in a #DAC system. The system was modeled
to include a precooling heat exchanger & a deposition chamber where the desublimation
of CO2 occurs."

3️⃣ base systems studied:
πŸ”Έ NC (no precompression/turbine recovery)
πŸ”ΈPC (precompression only)
πŸ”ΈTR (precompression & turbine recovery)
at 3️⃣ different compression ratios, n=400, 800 & 2000.
Then, a combination #DAC system, PSA, was modeled."

"A dual-column, 4️⃣-step Skarstrom Cycle PSA (pressure swing adsorption & cryogenic distillation) unit was analyzed using Extended Langmuir Models & the
ideal gas law to simulate a CO2 conc. prior to the deposition chamber. The NC & PSA systems were assessed at Tamb= -50β—¦C."
4/10 Image
This study finds that "while increasing the compression ratio of the system, there is no net energy benefit when capturing CO2 given the current state-of-the-art in commercial compressor & #cryocooler capabilities."
5/10 Image
"The assessment of the efficiency of a precooler versus TR finds that it is more advantageous to utilize a heat exchanger precooler than precompression with turbine recovery in a #DAC system. Combining DAC systems may yield a more efficient system."
6/10 Image
"PSA combined with cryogenic capture is less energy intensive than cryogenic capture alone. In a combined #DAC system with PSA and cryogenic distillation,
the PSA unit has a significantly lower energy consumption than the #cryocooler."
7/10 ImageImage
"Increasing the concentration of CO2 entering the deposition chamber significantly decreases the required energy consumption of the #cryocooler."

🚨Scientists Make Strides in Resurrecting Woolly Mammoths to Combat Climate Change🚨

A pioneering biotech firm has successfully genetically modified mice, marking a key step toward developing mammoth-like elephants to restore Arctic ecosystems & slow permafrost thaw.🧡1/10 Colossal Biosciences (@colossal), a Texas-based biotech firm, has engineered mice with mammoth-like traits. Their ultimate goal? Create herds of cold-adapted elephants that could help protect permafrost and reduce carbon emissions.
2/ Colossal Biosciences (@colossal), a Texas-based biotech firm, has engineered mice with mammoth-like traits. Their ultimate goal? Create herds of cold-adapted elephants that could help protect permafrost and reduce carbon emissions.
3/Why does this matter for climate change?

Permafrost holds huge amounts of C. When it melts it emits CO2 & CH4β€”increasing global warming. Mammoths once maintained Arctic grasslands, which helped insulate the permafrost. Colossal wants to bring this process back via neo-mammoths

🚨The Big Green Button: Who Gets to Push It?

"Geoengineering isn't just a climate issueβ€”it's a geopolitical chess game. Only US & China have power to unilaterally deploy #SAI at scale."

Will they race to control skies or seek climate diplomacy? New study explores 4 futures🧡1/9 Image
2/ SAI could cool the planetβ€”but who controls it controls global climate security.

Key risks of unilateral deployment:
πŸ”΄ Termination shock
πŸ”΄ Environmental disruptions
πŸ”΄ SAI as a potential weapon
πŸ”΄ Geopolitical leverageβ€”both a threat & opportunity Image
3/ This creates a security gap:

The US & China are locked in great power competition, yet neither has a clear strategy on SAI.

Who moves first? Who controls the stratosphere? The dilemma: Deploy & gain influenceβ€”or deter & risk falling behind? Image
