"Project Concho is a first-of-its-kind collaboration that opens the door to even more ambitious and transformative carbon removal projects," said Elena Nikonova, VP of Skytree's recently opened offices in the US and Canada.
The facility is set to enter operation in 2028, a Skytree representative told TNW via email. Initially, it aims to vacuum up 30,000 tonnes of carbon annually, scaling to 500,000 tonnes.
The developers plan to power the hub using an onsite wind farm, built by Spanish energy firm Greenalia. This would make it the world's first DAC project fully powered by wind energy.
The partners have chosen Skytree to do the carbon vacuum cleaning. Founded in 2014, Skytree's technology is based on the carbon scrubbers used aboard the International Space Station.
