Due to the modular architecture of our technology, the potential to develop extensive new renewable energy facilities (wind and solar) in the area, and the geologically scalable storage features of our site, Project Bison has no practical limits to scaling to megaton levels and beyond.

We expect that Project Bison will be the first DAC carbon removal project to use Class VI injection wells for permanent carbon dioxide storage in deep saline aquifers (pending regulatory approval).  

Project Bison starts small, but grows fast. By 2030, Project Bison is scheduled to have rolled-out five megatons of annual capture and storage capacity. At that point, we expect it will be the largest single atmospheric carbon removal project in the world.
