Heirloom announces plans to build two direct air capture plants in Louisiana
Heirloom, a direct air capture company, announced that it plans to establish two direct air capture (DAC) facilities in Louisiana. The company stated in a press release that unprecedented investments will be made to establish the two DAC facilities.
The two facilities will reportedly remove 320,000 tons of CO2 emissions each year towards the northwestern part of the state.
The two DAC facilities are set to be established at the Port of Caddo-Bossier in Shreveport. In addition to removing carbon emissions, the facilities will also generate around 1,000 jobs.
The facilities will help the Gulf Coast to boost its leadership in DAC technologies while facilitating America’s efforts to meet its Net-Zero goals.

The release mentions that the construction of the first facility will commence this year.
The plant is expected to be operational in 2026 and has the capacity to remove 17,000 tons of CO2 annually.
The next facility is currently being designed as a component of Project Cypress, the Regional DAC Hub located in Louisiana, overseen by the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) under the US Department of Energy (DOE).

The project is eligible for a maximum of $600 million in funding. This broadens Project Cypress’s reach and potential for job creation beyond Southwest Louisiana, where Climeworks is constructing its site in Calcasieu Parish.
The company’s decision to establish both facilities in Northwest Louisiana provides opportunities for cost savings and improves operational efficiencies.
Heirloom’s part of Project Cypress will reportedly remove nearly 300,000 tons of CO2 each year.
The first phase of the project is anticipated to be operational in 2027 and has the capacity to remove 100,000 tons of carbon emissions per year.
