CEO discusses environmental plansSabur Mian, CEO of STN, said the project aims to reduce its environmental impact."One of the key things here is, just like the Industrial Revolution, this is a new revolution. We plan on attempting to get close to a negative carbon footprint site, which would be hosted and which would be one of the first ones ever created in the entire world. And we're trying to do that here in Odessa," Mian said.
