Immediately following the announcement of Governor Gordon’s WGA Chair Initiative, he signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Governor Jared Polis pledging to work together to advance the capabilities of direct air capture in their respective states.  

“Technologies like direct air capture that remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere are necessary tools to address climate change, and we applaud this bipartisan effort by Governor Polis and Governor Gordon to advance these technologies here in the West,” said Patrick Cummins, Senior Western Regional Policy Manager at Clean Air Task Force. “Colorado and Wyoming are leading efforts on carbon removal, and this new partnership will help the industry move forward while benefiting communities in both states.”
