Enthusiastic Community Outreach at the Project Cypress Open Houses in Louisiana! Earlier this week, the CapturePoint LLC team met with community members at two Open Houses, co-sponsored by Project Cypress lead partners Climeworks and Heirloom in affiliation with Battelle and the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations | U.S. Department of Energy. Project Cypress is driving deployment of large-scale Direct Air Capture (DAC) facilities that will capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in Louisiana in a demonstration of the potential for developing regional DAC hubs around the United States. Both Heirloom, which is developing DAC in the Port of Caddo-Bossier in NW Louisiana, and Climeworks, which is developing DAC in Calcasieu Parish in SW Louisiana, have selected CapturePoint LLC to transport the captured CO2 for permanent deep underground sequestration in our CENLA Hub carbon storage site. The CapturePoint LLC team was excited to discuss Project Cypress goals with engaged community members on two consecutive evenings, and to share our leading-edge plans for a best-in-class Louisiana carbon management hub that will both protect the environment as well as public health and safety.
