Abstract
Devices, systems, facilities, and processes for direct air capture combined with carbon capture for reducing the overall emissions are disclosed herein. An exemplary system may include a first air blower configured to move a CO2 containing gas through a carbon capture unit; the carbon capture unit configured to separate and capture CO2 from the CO2 containing gas to generate a first CO2 rich stream; a second air blower configured to move an air from an air-cooled heat exchanger to a direct air capture unit; the direct air capture unit configured to capture CO2 from the air from the air-cooled heat exchanger to generate a second CO2 rich stream; and a sequestration compression unit configured to compress the first and second CO2 rich streams.
