Provided is a
carbon dioxide recovery system and method that can recover low-concentration
carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere in a simple and efficient manner with reduced
energy consumption. A
carbon dioxide recovery system, wherein there is provided: a liquid supply section for an aqueous alkali solution; a medium composed of a fibrous or porous material that is permeable to air, into which the aqueous alkali solution supplied from the liquid supply section penetrates and diffuses, the medium being arranged so as to be in contact with the air flow of natural
wind power, and carbon dioxide in the air is recovered as a
carbonate generated by the reaction of carbon dioxide in contact within the medium with the aqueous alkali solution. Also provided is a carbon dioxide
recovery method, wherein the above medium is brought into contact with the air flow of natural
wind power, and the aqueous alkali solution is supplied, so that the aqueous alkali solution penetrates and diffuses into the medium, and carbon dioxide in the air is recovered as a
carbonate generated by the reaction of carbon dioxide in contact within the medium with the aqueous alkali solution.
