Abstract: A new concept of low-cost direct air capture technology integrated with a fertilization system is proposed, as an alternative to the application of air derived CO2. A moisture swing sorbent can elevate the CO2 concentration from 400 parts per million (ppm) to several thousand ppm, and this can be used to cultivate plants. Desorption isotherms were determined and are described well by a Langmuir model. The adsorption rate constant and the desorption rate constant were gained at 25 °C, 35 °C, and 45 °C under 1000 ppm concentration of CO2. In accelerated cultivation experiments, the effects of CO2 concentration, light intensity, and spectrum on the CO2 uptake rate of the plants were investigated. A multi-bed desorption system which is capable of providing a continuous and stable CO2 supply for a greenhouse is demonstrated based on the desorption characteristic and CO2 uptake feature of plants. An energy and cost assessment for the integrated system was performed and the results indicated that minimum energy requirements and cost estimate of CO2 are 35.67 kJ/mol and 34.68 USD/t, respectively. This makes direct air capture a competitive and sustainable carbon source for agriculture.
