Direct Air Capture: How China wants to c • Table.Briefings

China wants to filter CO2 out of the air with the so-called CarbonBox. The DAC containers are designed to be scalable and will be able to store larger quantities of the greenhouse gas.

China has successfully tested its own large-scale plant for filtering CO2 from the atmosphere for the first time. The so-called CarbonBox is said to be able to filter 600 tons of the greenhouse gas from the air every year. China is not yet one of the market leaders in this new technology.

China has successfully tested a large-scale Direct Air Capture system for the first time. According to the state press agency Xinhua, the DAC system has passed a reliability test. One unit of the DAC system, which is housed in a shipping container, can filter up to 600 tons of CO2 from the air every year. The DAC system, called CarbonBox, was jointly developed by Shanghai Jiaotong University and the state-owned energy conglomerate China Energy Engineering Corporation.
