Before You Start...

There are a few things you should do before you go to any other sections (assuming you've read the main title page). It is highly suggested that you pick a few of these links to check out. If you're short of time, I suggest the interactive or the video. These will help you understand the need for CDR and clear confusion between the distinct types.

1. A long but informational article: https://cdrprimer.org/read

2. Check this fact sheet out: https://www.energy.gov/sites/default/files/2021-11/Carbon-Dioxide-Removal-FactSheet.pdf

3. Fun little interactive animation of moisture swing carbon capture: https://openaircollective.cc/what-is-dacc/

4. Ten-minute video clearing confusion on everything CDR (carbon dioxide removal): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wT10LDwe64

This is a very incomplete "guide". It focuses just on moisture swing absorption and not anything else, so it might be a bit biased.

To follow this tutorial on how to create your own moisture swing system, please start out by thoroughly reading the links on this page and the main "Carbon Capture" page.

After that, go read the test chamber pages, the sorbent prep pages, and the materials page to know what you're going to get into. It is a lot of work and does take some dedication to create your own machine.
