29. A modular system, comprising:
a plurality of reactors comprising a first reactor and a second reactor, the first reactor being removably coupled to the second reactor,
wherein the first reactor comprises:
a first inlet configured to receive a fluid from a fluid source;
a first monolith comprising a sorbent configured to adsorb carbon dioxide, the sorbent comprising a metal carbonate;
an electric conduit configured to provide an electric current to the first monolith to release carbon dioxide adsorbed by the first monolith;
a closure configured to move between an open position and a closed position, wherein the closure is configured to seal the first inlet in the closed position, and wherein the second reactor comprises:
a second inlet configured to receive the fluid from the fluid source;
a second monolith comprising a sorbent configured to adsorb carbon dioxide, the sorbent comprising a metal carbonate;
an electric conduit configured to provide an electric current to the second monolith to release carbon dioxide adsorbed by the second monolith; and
a closure configured to move between an open position to a closed position,
wherein the closure is configured to seal the second inlet in the closed position.
