A few months ago, the Swiss company Climeworks announced the construction of Mammoth, a huge carbon dioxide capture plant directly from the air in Iceland, with the capacity to capture 36,000 tons of CO₂ per year, it would be the absorption and storage plant for world’s largest direct air. However, that could change.
The company CarbonCapture will build the Bison project, in the state of Wyoming, in the United States, which in its Phase 1 will begin to eliminate some 10,000 tons per year next year, and plans to permanently eliminate 5 million tons of atmospheric CO₂ annually by 2030, becoming the largest in the world, breaking European catch records.
The team is ambitious and hopes to scale up this project to remove 200,000 tons of CO₂ per year by 2026, one megaton per year by 2028, and 5 megatons per year by 2030, with the goal of becoming the world’s largest atmospheric carbon removal project. biggest of the world.
