Description
General Electric, GE Research (Niskayuna, New York) plans to conduct a pre-feasibility study for a DAC hub in the greater Houston area in the state of Texas using a clean power source (renewable or nuclear energy). This hub would be located where Tenaska has acquired pore volume for the sequestration of CO2. The goal of this program is to establish a regional DAC hub that can remove one million metric tonnes of CO2 per year from the air and either permanently store the CO2 or utilize it in a value-added product (or a combination of the two).
