Project Concho in Tom Green County first DAC hub to rely on wind power

November 26, 2024 by PBOG

Carbon capture and removal project developers Return Carbon and Austin-based Verified Carbon last week announced plans for Project Concho, direct air capture hub to be built in Tom Green County. Project Concho will be the first DAC hub to run entirely on wind power; it will leverage advanced DAC technology and onsite geological carbon storage to capture and permanently remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

In its first phase, the facility aims to remove 50,000 tons annually before 2030 with expansion plans to reach 500,000 tons per year.

Project Concho will be powered by a wind farm to be built and operated by Greenalia, global renewable energy producer. The technology for Project Concho will be provided by Skytree, carbon removal company.

Martijn Verwoerd, managing director of Amsterdam-based Return Carbon, said Nov. 21, “This opportunity aligns perfectly with Return Carbon and Verified Carbon’s joint mission to mitigate climate change through the scalable commercialization of new technologies in impactful infrastructure projects. We’re thrilled to make west Texas a home for this groundbreaking DAC hub and create new opportunities for the region.”
