The energy balance is going to be critical, I agree!

We are still working on finalizing all the inputs for this process, including regeneration amounts, amount of heat added, etc. Based on our early modeling, it seems the amount of heat generated from the capture will be negligible since the amount of CO2 moving through our system is much smaller than the amount of water available to provide cooling.

Our chemicals have anti-scaling properties, and we're working to understand corrosion across many different material types to ensure we don't cause more problems than we're solving.

Are you using sodium hydroxide for scrubbing, along with calcium (hydr)oxide for regenerating?

If so, remember you could branch out to indoor air scrubbing, as higher NaOH concentrations can balance the "humidifier" effect.
