Direct air capture (DAC) specialist Heirloom has unveiled plans to bring two new DAC plants onstream at the Port of Caddo-Bossier in Shreveport, Louisiana, to capture nearly 320,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) annually.
The US business said it will start construction on the first site later this year and hopes it will be operational in 2026. The first facility will be responsible for the removal of around 17,000 tonnes of CO2 a year.
Heirloom’s second site will be part of Project Cypress, the Regional DAC Hub in Louisiana managed by the US Department of Energy (DOE)’s Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) and will remove approximately 300,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.
The first phase of the project, which is expected to be operational in 2027, will be capable of removing 100,000 tonnes of CO2 per year. The site is eligible for up to $600m in funding.
