Abstract

There is real interest in direct air capture sorbent cycling right now, and real uncertainty about exactly where it delivers the most
value. We pull together the current evidence for direct air capture sorbent cycling, covering the methodological, practical,
regulatory and cost angles, with an eye on where practice has genuinely settled and where engineers and reviewers are still
largely working it out for themselves. Selective, context-specific adoption looks better supported by the evidence gathered here
than either broad rollout or blanket avoidance.
