Captured data center waste-heat is used as the input energy for carbon capture plant. Energy in the form of waste-heat is first captured from servers and other apparatus within the data center and optionally directed as the input to a heat-pump before being directed to the input of carbon capture plant, enabling carbon capture using a data centers waste-heat. Also disclosed are systems and apparatus for data center operators or cloud services to offer carbon negative or carbon neutral services to their customers. Cloud customers are offered options to select a carbon negative or carbon neutral service, the cloud operator storing their choice and then operating or managing carbon capture services to meet their requests.

An emissions clean-up process is provided to remove detrimental exhaust gases from a fossil fuel power plant and to produce and/or reclaim various useful commercial byproducts. The process includes mixing a blended liquid solution with a solubilizer in a mixing tank to create a chemical reaction therein to produce an ionic solid and an alkaline liquid solution. By mixing various blended solutions with desired solubilizers, alkaline liquids are produced which may be chemically combined to create other byproducts or sold commercially. Likewise, the alkaline liquids may be passed through a wet scrubber to create a byproduct that when chemically mixed with an acid creates desired byproducts. Other byproducts such as a sodium bicarbonate liquid solution exits the wet scrubber and is sold or used in the subject process to produce various other byproducts.

The present disclosure concerns systems and sorbents for the removal of carbon dioxide from ambient air. In some aspects, the system includes a wind collector, a body and an outlet. The body has a monolith or platforms dispersed therein, surfaces of which are at least partially coated in a sorbent, such that passing ambient air that contacts the sorbent, thereby allowing for the removal of carbon dioxide therefrom. Sorbents of the present disclosure include substrates that are hybrids of a silica, optionally with a carbonaceous material, and an epoxy-modified aminopolymer.

A mobile emissions control system is provided for diesel engines operated on ocean-going ships at-berth. The emissions control system comprises two essential elements: an emissions capturing system and an emissions control system. The emissions control system may be mounted on a towable chassis or mounted on a barge, allowing it to be placed alongside ocean-going ships at-berth. The emission capturing system captures exhaust from a ship's diesel engine and conducts it into the emissions control system, which cleans the exhaust and then passes clean air into the atmosphere through an exhaust outlet.

Methods of sequestering CO.sub.2 from a gaseous source of CO.sub.2 are provided. Aspects of the methods include employing an alkali enrichment protocol, such as a membrane mediated alkali enrichment protocol, in a CO.sub.2 sequestration protocol. Also provided are systems for practicing the methods.
