This project advanced the development of a novel wind-driven direct air capture (WEDAC) system for removing carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere. Our research focused on combining passive air contact with electrothermal desorption using specially designed carbon fiber modules, aiming to provide a scalable, low-cost, and energy-efficient alternative to conventional carbon capture systems.
