There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Full Summary:
The article analyzes the energy sources needed for the technology to function properly.
Favero 1x1Alice Favero, associate director of graduate studies in the School of Public Policy, and Julian Powell, a student in the Master of Sustainable Energy and Environmental Management program, were co-authors of a new article published in Greenhouse Gases Science and Technology. The article is titled “Assessing the physical potential capacity of direct air capture with integrated supply of low-carbon energy sources.”
In the article, the authors analyze the needs of Direct Air Capture (DAC) technologies, which can remove carbon emissions from the atmosphere. They discuss how DAC technologies need to be near low-carbon (or primarily renewable) energy sources to function properly. They go on to find that DAC technologies would be able to remove the most carbon from the atmosphere when drawing power from solar energy, followed by offshore wind and woody biomass sources.
