Direct Air Capture / Innovation Centre. We believe humanity can solve climate change, and our contribution to this collective future is a technology capable of pulling carbon dioxide directly out of the atmosphere. Carbon Engineering is a team of innovators from around the globe with a shared mission and commitment of advancing large-scale Direct Air Capture technology. For over a decade, Carbon Engineering has advanced technologies for capturing carbon dioxide from the air around us. We are focused on the continual innovation of our Direct Air Capture technology to provide it at the scale and cost the world needs to help address the climate challenge. Our Innovation Centre in Squamish (Sḵwx̱wú7mesh), British Columbia is the heart of research and development at Carbon Engineering. Carbon Engineering has called Squamish (Sḵwx̱wú7mesh) home for 10+ years. If you have a question regarding Carbon Engineering's work in Squamish (Sḵwx̱wú7mesh), please reach us at community@carbonengineering.com.

Carbon capture and storage captures carbon dioxide before it enters the atmosphere. Typically, carbon capture equipment is placed at or near the source of emissions, like a power plant or industrial facility. DOE estimates that reaching our nation’s energy goals will require capturing and storing 400 million to 1.8 billion tons of CO2 annually by 2050. New carbon capture technologies are emerging from two decades of research and development. Funding for pilot projects will provide the support needed to test these technologies under relevant conditions in both the power and industrial sectors. The Carbon Capture Large-Scale Pilot Projects Program aims to pilot transformational technologies and prove them out at pilot-to-commercial scale in partnership with industry and communities. These large-scale pilot projects aim to significantly improve the efficiency, effectiveness, costs, emissions reductions, and environmental performance of coal and natural gas use at power and industrial facilities.
The Midwest Carbon Expressway is a project led by Summit Carbon Solutions who is seeking to create the largest carbon capture hub in the world.
China's largest carbon capture and storage plant at Guohua Jinjie coal power station was completed in January 2021. In addition to individual carbon capture and sequestration projects, various programs work to research, develop, and deploy CCS technologies on a broad scale. * Chevron Natural Gas Carbon Capture Technology Testing Project — Chevron USA, Inc. Had it become operational as a coal plant, the Kemper Project would have been a first-of-its-kind electricity plant to employ gasification and carbon capture technologies at this scale. The Petra Nova project is a billion dollar endeavor undertaken by NRG Energy and JX Nippon to partially retrofit their jointly owned W.A Parish coal-fired power plant with post-combustion carbon capture. The ANICA Project focused on developing economically feasible carbon capture technology for lime and cement plants, which are responsible for 8% of the total anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. **^** "Chevron Natural Gas Carbon Capture Technology Testing Project". **^** "Power plant linked to idled U.S. carbon capture project will shut indefinitely -NRG".
The program aims to create four DAC hubs over the next 10 years, each capable of removing and storing at least 1 million tons of CO2 each year.
Oxy is developing and investing in numerous technologies and approaches to help develop lower-carbon fuels and products. Oxy’s subsidiary 1PointFive is developing Carbon Engineering’s Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology at an industrial scale. Oxy’s subsidiary Carbon Engineering is focused on continued innovation of its proprietary Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology at its Innovation Centre in Squamish, British Columbia, where the Carbon Engineering team introduces new materials, processes and technologies that can be tested, analyzed and validated for commercial rollout. Oxy’s investment in NET Power helps provide critical support for the commercialization of this near zero-emissions approach to natural gas power generation. Oxy invested in Carbon Upcycling as part of our strategy to help accelerate CCUS technologies. In 2022, Oxy invested in LanzaTech’s de-SPAC transaction, with a focus on our strategy to accelerate technologies for lower carbon fuels. Oxy’s work with Xpansiv has enabled the launch of our first carbon-attributed, tradable oil and gas product that accounts for carbon intensity by incorporating emissions reductions from our carbon capture, utilization and storage operations.
