South Texas DAC Hub

Regional Direct Air Capture Hubs

1PointFive plans to build the South Texas DAC Hub at King Ranch in Kleberg County, TX with an initial removal capacity of 500,000 metric tons of CO₂ per year with the goal of capturing up to 1 million metric tons of CO₂ from the atmosphere each year at full capacity and permanently storing it in a saline aquifer deep underground. 1PointFive has the intention and storage capacity to build the South Texas DAC Hub to up to 30 million metric tons per year to provide carbon removal at a climate-relevant scale. The 1PointFive system draws air into its facility using large fans, where a chemical solution then selectively binds CO₂ molecules from the air, creating a CO₂-rich solution. The solution is then processed through a series of reactions to separate and purify the CO₂, after which it will be compressed and transported to geologic storage in a saline aquifer.
