Wyoming will soon be home to the world’s largest carbon removal facility
A new project aims to suck 5 million metric tons of CO2 a year out of the air by 2030.
In rural Wyoming, a sprawling field will soon be filled with dozens of shipping container-sized boxes that can pull CO2 from the atmosphere to help combat climate change. The captured CO2, compressed into a liquid, will travel through pipelines into nearby wells that are drilled thousands of feet underground, storing it permanently. Everything will run on clean energy.
