A quiet Colorado startup has turned on a plant to pull tons of CO2 out of the air — only the second in the world, they say.
By Greg Avery, Denver Business Journal - One of the world’s only large, direct-air-capture facilities is pulling carbon dioxide from the air north of Denver, drawing Colorado’s governor and Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the powerful Democrat, there Tuesday celebrate the milestone in person.
Startup company Global Thermostat unveiled a direct-air-capture facility it built outside its headquarters in an industrial part of Brighton and proclaimed the company’s carbon-dioxide gathering technology ready to be commercialized.
