Direct Air Capture (DAC) is a technology that removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. Using high-powered fans, air is drawn into a processing facility where the CO2 is separated through a series of chemical reactions. Then the CO2 is either permanently stored in underground reservoirs through secure geologic sequestration, or is used to make new products such as building materials and low-carbon fuels.

Geologic sequestration is a proven method of underground carbon dioxide (CO2) storage whereby CO2 is injected deep underground into deep rock formations for long-term storage. By capturing CO2 and storing it into these reservoirs, operators can prevent the release of CO2 into the atmosphere—protecting the climate, the planet and future generations. Geologic sequestration has been in use for decades. The history of intense study and real world application by leading experts in the fields of geology, seismology, fluid characterization, well engineering and reservoir modeling means that today we have a powerful, proven tool with which to capture and store CO2 at scale.

1PointFive is working with Carbon Engineering to deploy AIR TO FUELS™ processes capable of turning atmospheric CO2 from Direct Air Capture (DAC) facilities into low-carbon fuels that are designed to be drop-in compatible with today’s infrastructure and vehicles. AIR TO FUELS™ could serve as a mission-critical tool for difficult-to-decarbonize sectors such as aviation, maritime, rail and long-haul trucking as they pursue 2050 climate targets.
