ASU-led collaboration receives $11.2 million to build Southwest Regional Direct Air Capture Hub

ASU-led collaboration receives $11.2 million to build Southwest Regional Direct Air Capture Hub

Direct air capture technology pioneered by Klaus Lackner, a professor in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment, part of the Fulton Schools, and founding director of ASU’s Center for Negative Carbon Emissions, will be involved in a new regional effort funded by the U.S. Department of Energy funds to remove environmentally harmful carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The project includes building a Direct Air Capture Hub in the U.S. Southwest’s Four Corners area and endeavors to reduce the increase in global warming, enable full-scale commercialization of CO2-reducing solutions around the world and develop an educational pathway to build a workforce to make the Southwest Regional Direct Air Capture Hub successful.
