The facility will filter 4,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide from the air and mineralize it underground. With direct air capture technology, carbon dioxide is extracted from the ambient air and air free of CO 2 is returned to the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide is thus permanently removed from the atmosphere.
