Make a Difference

1PointFive’s mission is to deliver solutions that help curb global temperature rise to 1.5°C. As we design, build and operate facilities around the world, we prioritize the protection, health, safety and welfare of our people, the communities in which we operate, and the environment.

Meaningful engagement

We work with local community leaders and governments to address opportunities and concerns that arise during project development and facility operation. We offer CO2 storage education initiatives, as well as bilingual outreach programs to make sure community members are well informed.

The construction and operation of a DAC facility requires a wide range of skill sets. In any location, our facility plans include providing any necessary training so the local community has the skills needed to benefit from the development. During the construction phase of a project, we expect that a thousand jobs, or more, will be created. Once operational, we anticipate potentially hundreds of permanent jobs will be needed.
Tackling a challenge as big as global temperature rise requires remarkably talented people across a wide array of disciplines. As such, we recognize the value of education and invest in it in many ways, including supporting science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) programs and helping raise literacy and graduation rates in disadvantaged and underserved communities.
Hunger is a significant and unnecessary challenge. It’s why we regularly support Feeding America’s partner food banks to provide meals for disadvantaged children, families, seniors and veterans. We also sponsor fleet trucks and mobile outreach pantries delivering fresh food and produce to remote communities and underserved school districts.
While our name, our mission and our business indicate our drive to remove atmospheric CO2, our commitment to a better planet doesn’t stop there. Our community efforts range from reducing waste and supporting recycling efforts, to partnering with local organizations who protect and restore natural resources and wildlife.
Whether we seek to build a Direct Air Capture facility, move CO2 across a pipeline network or drill sequestration wells to store it deep underground, 1PointFive takes proactive steps to see that operations do not have an impact on freshwater sources. These efforts include performing water tests prior to development to establish water quality baseline, as well as monitoring subsurface activity to make sure natural water sources are not breached.

Our Approach

We analyze social and economic demographics in the areas in which we live and work to identify the greatest needs and then proactively work to help address them so that our operations can have a net positive impact.

Water

To avoid impacting local water supply, Direct Air Capture operations source water that is non-potable and not suitable for residential purposes. Sequestration wells for CO2 storage are thousands of feet below the deepest underground sources of drinking water.

Power

Power for Direct Air Capture will be sourced from new renewable or low-emission power sources. Power generation will be additional to what is available from the grid today, ensuring DAC is not removing an existing supply of renewable power from the grid.

Conservation

1PointFive seeks out and promotes conservation initiatives that are both innovative and environmentally sustainable. In addition, we are dedicated to investing in distinctive conservation projects that are designed to benefit people, wildlife and land in equal measure.
