An productive and eventful August may seem counterintuitive to some but not in the world of DAC. Over the last week: ▶ Heimdal begins operation of #ProjectBantam, the largest DAC plant in the U.S. and 2nd largest in the world. Alongside storage partner CapturePoint LLC, the Oklahoma-based facility which uses passive carbonation of limestone will have the capacity to remove 5,000 tons of CO2/year. ▶ The United States U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management announced $52.5M will be made available for the Commercial Direct Air Capture Pilot Prize supporting technology developers that design, build, commission, and operate innovative direct air capture pilot facilities capable of capturing at least 500 tonnes of CO2/year ▶ Spiritus completed the filing of a Class VI permit application with the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality for its #OrchardOne project, keeping it on track to become the world’s largest DAC facility. Designed to remove 2 million tonnes of CO2/year at scale, the first-phase operations is slated to begin by 2026. ▶ Deep Sky announced they had selected a site in #Innisfail, Alberta to build the world’s first carbon removal innovation and commercialization center, Deep Sky Alpha Labs. The facility will be operational this winter, and will have the capacity to capture 3,000 tons of CO2/year, with room for expansion, via 10 different DAC technologies. DeepSky have also begun pre-feasibility studies assessing the geologic storage potential of Bécancour and Thetford Mines in Québec Stay connected with all that's happening in DAC, here: https://lnkd.in/gPMK6vsj All links are listed in the comments!

As Co-Founder and Executive Director of Direct Air Capture Coalition, Jason Hochman leads a growing global, non-profit, multi-stakeholder coalition of nearly 120 companies, organizations, and institutions working to advance and accelerate the deployment of direct air capture technology to help address climate change. On episode 249 of the Bigger Than Us Podcast, host Raj Daniels and Jason discuss common misconceptions about DAC, why large-scale carbon removal isn't optional in the fight against climate change, who's leading the way in carbon removal policy, when we can expect to see more DAC projects completed, and more.

Scaling CDR will require attracting a dedicated and talented workforce. Fill out the CDRjobs 2024 CDR Salary Survey, a short and anonymous 3 minute survey, to help provide accurate, up to date, and transparency data to assist jobseekers in making the most informed decisions about their career paths. Link to survey here: https://lnkd.in/ecmh6zfh
🔊 Are you working or do you want to work in CDR? Then WE NEED YOU. 🤑 It has become increasingly clear that salary is something we all really need to understand better if we are going to attract and retain the best talent - such as yourself - to reach gigaton scale. 🔮 Unfortunately, data on salaries in job ads is scarce - currently only 128 CDR jobs globally have salary information. At this rate, it will take us years to get a complete picture. 🤗 That’s where you come in. 📋 That’s why we are launching the first-ever CDR Salary Survey: a short, anonymous 3-minute survey to fill this gap and provide clear, tangible, and transparent salary data to everyone currently working or looking to work in CDR. 📝 Fill it out here: https://lnkd.in/d6vcS9UQ 💼 We will release the 2024 CDR Salary Survey Report within the next 4-6 weeks which will help the CDR industry better benchmark salaries and help you to make decisions about your career path. #CDRjobs #CDR #salaryinsights #salarybenchmark

An excellent start to Carbon Unbound yesterday, highlighted by an engaging discussion on the policy needs, project finance challenges, and near-term priorities for scaling the direct air capture sector. The session was moderated by our Co-founder and Executive Director Jason Hochman with Nicholas Moore Eisenberger, Giana Amador, Josh Santos and Rob van Straten as insightful panelists. The Direct Air Capture Coalition counts members and partners on five continents, across over 20 countries so we did not pass up on the opportunity to get a group photo with innovators and entrepreneurs from 15+ DAC companies immediately preceding the panel. Our firm conviction that direct air capture can, and will, play a critical role in the journey to net zero is in no part due to the brilliance, diligence, dedication, and talent of those pictures on stage, and the many, many, many others not pictured around the world working to solve the world's most pressing problem.
