Make a Difference

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.
