Abstract: A method for producing a synthetic fuel from hydrogen and carbon dioxide comprises extracting hydrogen molecules from hydrogen compounds in a hydrogen feedstock to produce a hydrogen-containing fluid stream; extracting carbon dioxide molecules from a dilute gaseous mixture in a carbon dioxide feedstock to produce a carbon dioxide containing fluid stream; and processing the hydrogen and carbon dioxide containing fluid streams to produce a synthetic fuel. At least some thermal energy and/or material used for at least one of the steps of extracting hydrogen molecules, extracting carbon dioxide molecules, and processing the hydrogen and carbon dioxide containing fluid streams is obtained from thermal energy and/or material produced by another one of the steps of extracting hydrogen molecules, extracting carbon dioxide molecules, and processing the hydrogen and carbon dioxide containing fluid streams.

Abstract: A system for capturing CO2 from a dilute gas source includes a gas-liquid contactor including a housing coupled to a plurality of structural members; one or more basins positioned within the housing and configured to hold a CO2 capture solution, the one or more basins including a bottom basin; one or more packing sections positioned at least partially above the bottom basin; a fan operable to circulate a CO2-laden gas through the one or more packing sections; and a liquid distribution system configured to flow the CO2 capture solution onto the one or more packing sections.
