Description

A potential regional DAC hub development in eastern Washington and neighboring states.

Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) (Basalt, Colorado) plans to bring together DAC and CO2 mineral storage technology developers for a regional DAC hub development in the Pacific Northwest. The Ankeron Hub intends to unite DAC technologies developed by Heirloom, Removr, and Sustaera validated at a technology readiness level between 4–6 at lab and/or pilot scale and powered by electricity only. The project will deliver a feasibility study, which builds on the combined experience of Carbfix and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, as well as Carbfix’s experience with DAC and storage integration and commercial operation in Iceland.
