![]() ![]() The DAC process separates carbon dioxide (CO 2) from ambient air and then either permanently stores the CO 2 underground or converts it for use in concrete and other products that prevent its release back into the atmosphere. “The atlas describes the myriad DAC technologies and provides a new and exciting look at opportunities to utilize waste heat from other thermal and industrial processes, which maximizes efficiency and can result in even greater potential for carbon dioxide emission reductions.” “Direct air capture is one of the many technologies we will need to meet climate objectives, and the atlas for the first time analyzes real opportunities to deploy DAC facilities at scale,” said Matt Fry, GPI’s senior policy manager for carbon management. Through this analysis, seven regions emerged as prime locations to develop regional DAC hubs, each with a unique set of advantages: California, Rockies & Northern Plains, Permian, Midcontinent, Gulf, Midwest, and Mid-Atlantic & Great Lakes. The Great Plains Institute’s Atlas of Direct Air Capture, Opportunities for Negative Emissions in the United States examines key factors that impact regional suitability for development of DAC technology and associated infrastructure. MARCH 1, 2023, MINNEAPOLIS - A first-of-its-kind atlas identifies seven regions in the United States offering the best array of characteristics to house a direct air capture (DAC) hub. First-of-its-kind analysis examines factors impacting regional suitability for DAC hubs
