Heirloom, a pioneer in Direct Air Capture (DAC) of CO2 and operator of the first US commercial DAC facility, announced today the intent to build two new DAC plants in the Port of Caddo-Bossier near Shreveport, Louisiana. CapturePoint will partner with Heirloom to take the captured CO2 from both plants and transport it for permanent deep underground storage at CapturePoint's Central Louisiana Regional Carbon Storage Hub (CENLA Hub).

The first Heirloom DAC facility at the Port of Caddo-Bossier is expected to begin construction later in 2024 and will remove 17,000 metric tons of CO2 annually from the atmosphere when it becomes operational with a target launch date of 2026. The second facility is under design as part of Project Cypress, the Regional DAC Hub in Louisiana managed by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (DOE – OCED). The Project Cypress Heirloom DAC facility is expected to be constructed in three phases, each with a capacity to remove up to 100,000 metric tons of CO2 annually from the local atmosphere. When both of its NW Louisiana DAC facilities are complete, Heirloom expects to capture 320,000 metric tons of CO2 annually.
“The team at CapturePoint is ready to support Heirloom’s expansive plans for Project Cypress, and we are excited to partner in the Northwest Louisiana initiatives that are setting new national standards for carbon management,” noted Tracy Evans, CEO of CapturePoint. “Our Central Louisiana Regional Carbon Storage Hub (CENLA Hub) has the potential to be one of the largest and most secure onshore carbon sequestration sites in the country, providing leading-edge, safe and permanent deep underground storage for the CO2 that Heirloom’s innovative Direct Air Capture technology will pull from the atmosphere. Together our projects create a win-win-win for Louisiana – protecting the environment, expanding jobs and the economy, and defining a new future for the region.”
