The Engineering Laboratory (EL) in collaboration with the Material Measurement Laboratory (MML), released the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Advanced Carbon Technologies repository (ACT). This new repository, initially focusing on direct air capture, includes:
- Three direct air capture (DAC) technologies: solvent, sorbent (two versions), and limestone loop
- Transport and storage of carbon: pipeline, and aquifer.
- Combined heat and power plant
- 11 unit process for auxiliary materials and processes: KCl, KOH, MEA, TEG, etc.
- 14 bridge processes to other FLCAC repositories.
These models were developed as part of multi-program research activities at NIST across the Measurement Science for Building Systems Program in EL, Advanced Carbon Standards and Technologies in MML, and Circular Economy Program in MML. Datasets included were used as part study to be published in an upcoming NIST Technical Note.
