A system for capture of atmospheric carbon dioxide. The system includes a carbon dioxide capture device having a capture medium operable to capture atmospheric carbon dioxide under a first set of thermodynamic conditions, and to release carbon dioxide under a second set of thermodynamic conditions different to the first set of thermodynamic conditions. The first set of thermodynamic conditions includes a first temperature range and the second set of thermodynamic conditions includes a second temperature range. A heat engine is configured receive a working fluid at an inlet temperature and arranged to discharge at least a portion of the working fluid at a discharge temperature in the second temperature range or higher, and a heat transfer arrangement is configured to convey heat from discharged working fluid to the capture medium to release carbon dioxide therefrom.
