Arizona Board of Regents on behalf of Arizona State University —with major partners Black & Veatch, Carbon Collect, CarbonCapture, Carbon Solutions, Proton Green, University of New Mexico, University of Utah, Tallgrass, and Arizona Geological Survey—plans to develop the Southwest Regional DAC Hub to advance the design of a regional DAC hub. The hub is intended to catalyze a carbon capture industry in the region. It is also intended to support a renewable energy boom in an area that is home to aging coal plants scheduled to be retired, vast tracts of land with existing transmission capacity, and local communities capable of exploring options for an industrial base that can support workers and generate tax revenue as the area transitions away from fossil energy.
