1PointFive and the Houston Astros announce Direct Air Capture Carbon Removal Credit Agreement
07 Março 2023 - 10:00AM
GlobeNewswire Inc.
1PointFive, a carbon capture, utilization and sequestration
company, and the Houston Astros, announced today the team has
agreed to purchase carbon dioxide (CO2) removal credits from
1PointFive’s Direct Air Capture (DAC) plant under construction in
Ector County, Texas. This progressive agreement is a demonstration
of the Astros commitment to continuous improvement of their fan
experience via environmental investment.
DAC is a technology that captures and removes large volumes of
CO2 directly from the atmosphere, which can be safely and securely
stored deep underground in geologic formations. For this agreement
with the Astros, CO2 captured by DAC will be sequestered in saline
reservoirs not associated with oil and gas production. DAC provides
a practical solution for hard-to-decarbonize activities, such as
air travel, to help achieve climate goals. Over the next three
years, the Astros will utilize the removal credits across a number
of activities throughout the ballpark as they work towards a carbon
neutral footprint.
“We are pleased to further our relationship with the Houston
Astros and provide a solution to address future carbon emissions,”
said Michael Avery, President and General Manager, 1PointFive. “We
are excited about the opportunity that Direct Air Capture presents
to help organizations reduce their carbon footprint.”
“We are grateful to 1PointFive for their focused commitment to
carbon removal and technology innovation to support this cause,”
said Marcel Braithwaite, Senior Vice President Business Operations,
Houston Astros. “We remain committed to continuous improvement of
our stadium for our fans and purchasing carbon removal credits is
an important investment for us.”
