The data flowchart of the four layers of the platform. The figure illustrates the links between the LCA, the TEA, process evaluation and material characterization. On the basis of the crystal structure of a sorbent material, we evaluate its performance for a specific carbon-capture process, connecting a CO2 source with a CO2 sink in a region of the world, using a total of 50 KPIs. The platform integrates databases on material properties, process design parameters, utilities data, economic data, life-cycle impact assessment (LCIA) data and life-cycle inventory (LCI) data. A detailed description of the methods used in each layer can be found in Supplementary Information Section 3. Our interactive visualization tool provides access to all KPIs for all case studies and more than 1,200 materials25.
