Abstract: The invention relates to a method to produce a particulate activated carbon material for capturing CO2 from air, wherein the particulate activated carbon is impregnated with alkali carbonate salt such as K2CO3; and wherein the impregnated particulate activated carbon either has, determined using nitrogen adsorption methods, a pore volume of at least 0.10 cm3/g for pore sizes of at least 5 nm and a pore volume of at most 0.30 cm3/g for pore sizes of less than 2 nm or is based on a mixture of different alkali carbonate salts, or has a particular pore surface for pore sizes in the range of 2 nm-50 nm.
