Dutch startup picked for $100M wind-powered carbon capture plant in Texas: Amsterdam-based startup Skytree is set to deploy its carbon-sucking machines on a newly announced carbon capture and storage project in Texas, US.  Dubbed “Project Concho,” the $100mn Direct Air Capture (DAC) plant aims to initially vacuum up 30,000 tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere annually, eventually scaling to 500,000 tonnes. This carbon will be permanently stored underground, on site.  The facility is set to enter operation in 2028, a Skytree representative told TNW via email.   Project Concho is masterminded by carbon capture developers Return Carbon, from the Netherlands, and Verified Carbon, from Texas. They will generate revenue from the plant… This story continues at The Next Web #technews #startupnews #eurostartups

🚀 Launching the Circular Innovation Challenge for Quebec’s Wind Energy Sector! 🌬️♻️ As hundreds of wind turbines near the end of their lifecycle, Cycle Momentum and RECYC-QUÉBEC are stepping up to address the massive opportunity for circularity in Quebec's wind energy industry. Our initiative aims to identify cutting-edge global solutions for the eco-design, reuse, and recycling of wind farm materials. With over 125,000 tonnes of waste projected by 2030, rising to 145,000 tonnes by 2050, the time to act is now! 💡 By mobilizing Quebec’s industrial ecosystem, we aim to test innovative technologies and solutions from all around the world that ensure materials are sustainably managed and integrated into a circular economy. Through this challenge, we will spark the development of pilot projects that will help us shift toward a truly sustainable future for the wind energy sector. Together, we can turn these challenges into opportunities. 🌱 #CircularEconomy #WindEnergy #Sustainability #Innovation #EnergyTransition #CleanTech #Quebec #Circularity #ClimateAction
