CarbonCapture teams with Frontier Carbon Solutions for Wyoming project

In Wyoming, CarbonCapture Inc., a U.S. climate tech company that develops direct air capture (DAC) systems based on a groundbreaking modular open systems architecture, announced an exclusive partnership with leading carbon storage developer Frontier Carbon Solutions targeted to permanently remove five million tons of atmospheric CO2 annually by 2030. 

“With the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, the proliferation of companies seeking high-quality carbon removal credits, and a disruptive low-cost technology, we now have the ingredients needed to scale DAC to megaton levels by the end of this decade,” said Adrian Corless, CEO and CTO, CarbonCapture Inc. “We plan to have our first DAC modules fielded by the end of next year and to continue installing capacity as quickly as modules come off our production line. Our goal is to leverage economies of scale to offer the lowest priced DAC-based carbon removal credits in the market.” 

Wyoming was selected as the project’s location due to the broad availability of renewable and zero carbon energy sources as well as the favorable regulatory and operating environment for carbon storage. The project is expected to be operational by late 2023, at which point it would be the first atmospheric carbon removal facility to use Class VI wells for permanent storage as well as the first massively scalable DAC project in the United States. 

The partnership, named Project Bison, will deploy CarbonCapture’s DAC modules atop Frontier’s CO2 transportation and storage infrastructure in Wyoming. Developed over multiple phases through 2030, the project will meet the rapidly growing demand for carbon removal credits. Advanced sales have begun, with CO2 (by TIME) and Cloverly supporting the project as core channel partners.
