Purchase carbon credits from Project Bison

Permanently removing CO₂ via direct air capture systems in Wyoming.

Description

Project Bison was designed to meet the rapidly growing need for high-quality engineered carbon removal credits.

The project has been developed to be rolled out over multiple phases through 2030. It consists of a partnership between CarbonCapture Inc., a US climate tech company that makes direct air capture (DAC) systems based on a groundbreaking modular open-systems architecture, and Frontier Carbon Solutions, a carbon storage developer. The partnership will deploy CarbonCapture’s DAC modules atop Frontier’s CO₂ transportation and storage infrastructure in Wyoming to permanently remove 5 million tonnes of CO₂ from the atmosphere annually by 2030.

DAC refers to technology solutions that filter carbon dioxide directly out of the atmosphere. When air moves over certain materials, they selectively bind to CO₂. CarbonCapture uses solid sorbent capture materials, themselves typically composed of common chemicals already in use in other applications. Once CO₂ is captured from the atmosphere, heat is applied to release it, regenerating capture materials for another capture cycle. CarbonCapture uses only renewables or other zero-carbon resources to power its systems.

Technology

DAC with Storage

Capturing CO₂ directly from ambient air and storing it on geologic timeframes.

Durability

Permanence: 10000+ years

The durability of this project is extremely high as a result of the technology used. According to abundant research, the duration of this project's geological sequestration and permanent sequestration is over 10,000 years.

How the project approaches risk of reversal

This project is exposed to minimal reversal risk. However, a sequestration testing and monitoring plan is in place to ensure that the injection is not endangering underground sources of drinking water (USDW). For a list of activities used to monitor and track release events, including a leak detection and monitoring plan, please refer to Section 2.4.4 of the PDD. Currently, no emissions from release events are included in the estimated emissions. These estimates will be updated to reflect any measured leaks and build in conservative estimates on CO2 that may leak below the threshold measurement value.

What actions would be taken by the project developer if anticipated emissions reductions do not take place, or if carbon removal is reversed in the future?

This is not applicable to this project type.

What calculation methods are used to independently reproduce and verify the carbon impact of the project?

Please refer to Section 2.4 of the methodology document.
