This is the largest of such projects by roughly 1,000x, and Vicki Hollub has revealed that she actually intends to build 135 of these DACs. She was on our stage to explain the new science, the technology, the urgency, and her carbon capture company's new project: a $1 billion Direct Air Capture (DAC) plant that literally sucks CO2 from the sky. The goal and prototypes have been around for a while, but one of the big eco wins over the last couple years is that big prototypes are working and we have the first companies in the world making billion dollar investments to make it happen.Īt this year's Future Festival World Summit, Trend Hunter had the pleasure of hosting the woman who is arguably the carbon capture leader, Vicki Hollub, CEO of Occidental. What are Carbon Capture Companies and what do they do? Put simply, the goal is to capture CO2 pollution from a smokestack or from the sky, which you can use to create new products, like carbon capture concrete, carbon capture diamonds, clean fuel, coral reefs, furniture and industrial products.
