A second project, the South Texas DAC Hub, will remove up to 1 million tons of CO2 annually, according to the DOE. In total, about 2 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year will be absorbed from the atmosphere and stored by the two projects. This corresponds to the annual emissions of about 445,000 gasoline-powered cars, the US ministry explained. According to it today’s announcement is “the world’s largest investment in carbon dioxide capture technology in history”.
Projects funded by the Bilateral Infrastructure Act
According to DOE, both projects are the first of their size in the United States and the first projects selected under the Regional Direct Aircraft Capture (DAC) Hubs Program funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act. The project aims to establish a nationwide network of large-scale carbon capture plants in the United States. ClimWorks has applied for three projects in the scheme (Energet Report). /mg
