Description (excerpt):
Wyoming’s carbon tech industry is a significant economic opportunity for job growth, having the potential to support an annual average of 2,600 jobs through 2035, representing over 25 percent of the state’s current manufacturing workforce. Carbon tech refers to a wide range of high-value products and chemical feedstocks produced from coal and captured carbon dioxide, including carbon fiber, concrete, graphene, cement, plastics, and carbon foam. Wyoming can capitalize on this opportunity by bolstering its innovation ecosystem, access to capital, workforce development, value chain, and local market.
