The awards will support the development of 1PointFive’s carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration hubs that provide a solution to address industrial sources of emissions. This funding marks a significant step towards advancing industrial decarbonization.
1PointFive’s Bluebonnet Sequestration Hub, located in Chambers County, Texas, and Magnolia Sequestration Hub, located in Allen Parish, Louisiana, are well-suited for large-scale geologic CO2 storage and positioned near industrial emissions sources.
By integrating pore space, UIC Class VI sequestration permits, and infrastructure, the hubs are primed to support industries aiming to meet their climate goals.
“We are using our over 50 years of carbon management expertise and experience developing projects at scale to deliver a proven solution that helps advance industrial decarbonization,” said Jeff Alvarez, President of 1PointFive Sequestration. “Working in partnership with the Department of Energy supports our ability to rapidly progress our hubs and realize the potential of CCS to further climate goals.” The collaboration with the DOE is crucial for accelerating the progress of these sequestration hubs.
The funding will help advance 1PointFive’s site characterization activities, permitting, and environmental approvals for construction at each hub. 1PointFive is also focusing on community benefit programs, with an emphasis on education initiatives and building diverse community relationships.
