1. A system for removing carbon dioxide from ambient air, the system comprising:
a plurality of adsorber panels, wherein each panel of the plurality of adsorber panels comprises a face and a substrate configured to capture CO2 from an atmosphere, and wherein each panel of the plurality of adsorber panels are configured to move independently;
at least one adsorber structure comprising at least one fan configured to circulate air through a portion of panels of the plurality of adsorber panels; and
at least one regeneration unit comprising at least one oxygen purging section, at least one CO2 desorption section, and at least one drying/cooling section, wherein the at least one CO2 desorption section comprises a desorption chamber,
wherein the plurality of adsorber panels comprises a first adsorber panel and a second adsorber panel, wherein the first and second adsorber panels are configured to move continuously through the desorption chamber at the same time while at least a portion of the first adsorber panel or a portion of the second adsorber panel is outside of the desorption chamber.
