[ABSTRACT ]

The increase of greenhouse gaseous (GHGs) in the atmosphere driving the climate change existence, and now it becomes a global issue. Direct CO2 capture technology from ambience air is a promising solution to address this issue. This paper promotes a Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology to be a part of solution for capturing CO2 , and describes existing research for identifying the performance of Direct Air Capture CO2 technology, which has been developed by using selected adsorbent. A comprehensive data-driven analysis and performance evaluation of the adsorption and desorption process has been conducted. The sensors were integrated the measurements of CO2 concentration in the upstream and downstream of the adsorbent fixed bed, along with on- site field measurements of related parameters such as pressure and temperature, to appraise the efficiency of the Direct Air Capture prototype equipment. Conclusively, the exhaustive data-backed analysis has successfully validated the efficacy of the prototype system in removing historical CO2 .
