The United States officially has its first commercial Direct Air Capture facility! Today we welcomed U.S. Secretary of @ENERGY, Jennifer M Granholm, and California Lieutenant Governor, Eleni Kounalakis, to unveil a facility in our home state of California where we'll capture and lock away CO2 from the atmosphere. Powered by 100% renewable energy supplied by PG&E and Ava Community Energy, constructed with union labor, backed by catalytic buyers of best-in-class carbon removal, and built in partnership with the City and community of Tracy, this first facility is our blueprint for responsible removal at billion-ton scale and beyond. With a capture capacity of up to 1,000 tons per year, the CO2 captured at this facility will go for storage in concrete with our partner @CarbonCure so that it cannot continue heating the planet. This facility is more than a labor of love from the engineers, researchers, chemists, construction workers, scientists, managers, assistants, policy wonks, and architects who made it possible –– it is a promise of what is possible when committed people come together to get things done, and a promise that we will keep building today, tomorrow, and every day after until we’ve realized our vision of a safer and more stable climate.
