CO2 capture from air and co-production of H2 via the Ca(OH)2–CaCO3 cycle using concentrated solar power–Thermodynamic analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the thermodynamics of a solar thermochemical cycle for the capture of CO2 from air are analyzed, and two approaches are examined: (1) a closed-material cycle that delivers pure CO2; and (2) an open material cycle that, additionally, co-produces hydrogen.
