Carbon Capture
Description: Description of the project
280 Earth, Inc. has launched its inaugural Direct Air Capture (DAC) facility in The Dalles, Oregon, marking a significant milestone in the fight against climate change.
Free text:
This facility, the first of its kind in Oregon, utilizes advanced DAC technology to extract up to 500 tonnes of CO2 annually directly from the atmosphere, with plans to scale up to 5,000 tonnes per year. Developed through extensive R&D by X, The Moonshot Factory, and backed by a $50 million Series B funding round led by Builders VC, the project demonstrates a cost-effective and energy-efficient approach to carbon capture. The captured CO2 will be either sequestered or repurposed for industrial uses, while the facility's integration with local hydropower and waste heat sources minimizes its carbon footprint. This initiative represents a collaborative effort involving local government partners and union labor, showcasing a scalable solution to achieving negative emissions and contributing to global net-zero goals by 2050.
