Origen Large-Scale Technology Demonstration (EERC)
Location: Grand Forks, North Dakota
Key Partners: Energy & Environmental Research Center
Capacity: Kiln: ~3,300 tonnes lime or ~2,000 tonnes CO₂ removal, Modular Contactor: ~150 tonnes CO₂ removal
Strategic Objective: Demonstrate Origen zero-emission lime kiln and end-to-end direct air capture system at significant scale, de-risking the technology and capturing learnings to inform commercial scale-up
Status/Phase: Operational
Online: 2025
“This partnership brings together Origen’s innovative carbon removal technology with the EERC’s deep expertise in carbon storage and management,” said Charlie Gorecki, EERC CEO. “North Dakota is an ideal location for this work, and we’re proud to be advancing solutions that can play a role in addressing global carbon challenges.”
