Climeworks, a Swiss direct air capture (DAC) startup, has partnered with the Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC) of the University of North Dakota for the deployment of the Prairie Compass DAC hub.
In the initial phase, the project will conduct an engineering study to assess the feasibility of scaling DAC technology in North Dakota, backed by a grant funding of USD 12.5 million from the US Department of Energy (DoE).
The initial study will revolve around Minnkota Power Cooperative’s CO2 storage facility near Center, North Dakota. In the second phase, the Prairie Compass DAC Hub will facilitate DAC+S deployment to capture and store one million tons of CO2 per annum by 2030.
