Heirloom is all about achieving a *low cost* Direct Air Capture to help reverse climate change. Part of that means leveraging a limestone based process to capture CO2. Another part is to deploy, deploy, and deploy to learn, scale, and come down the cost curve. Today’s an important day for both those fronts. With support from the Department of Energy and Louisiana’s Economic Development Office, we’re bringing nearly 320,000 tons of CO2 annual removal capacity to the city of Shreveport, Louisiana with two new DAC facilities, which will start coming online in 2026. There are a lot of moving pieces here but they all speak to how America is leading the world in deploying DAC and how Heirloom is leading America in that effort. As a reminder, Heirloom was selected last year, along with our partners Climeworks and Battelle, to participate in Project Cypress, the Department of Energy’s DAC Hub program in Louisiana. Wth $600 million in matching funding available, this is a catalytic public investment in DAC technology. I couldn’t be prouder of the Heirloom team – scaling to a 17,000 ton per year facility and then a 100,000 ton per year facility in just a few years. This scale-up will incorporate thousands of design and engineering improvements to drive down the cost of our technology and putting us on a path to be one of the most affordable permanent carbon removal technologies on the market. Today, I feel more optimistic than ever about our ability to really move the needle on climate change. See more 👇 https://lnkd.in/ggkkWBHX
Wish Heirloom and similar efforts the best , but suggest ‘limestone based’ process is misleading - since the limestone CaCO3 needs to be heated to 900 degrees C ! To make the CaO which actually captures CO2 - costs a lot of high grade energy ! - an ‘unit’ $ cost which is not reduced at scale Making cement is also ‘limestone based’ and for same reason an *emission* source of CO2, while costing a lot of heat energy
Would like to offer some assistance with geothermal power, limestone materials, river barge transport and disposal of class 1 non-hazardous liquid disposal well of ours.
Shashank Samala you should connect with Duriel Harris of Harris Cattle Co., he's doing great regenerative beef production in the area, and I am sure your future team in LA would be happy to get access to it. Happy to connect you with him. Glad to see this work happening in LA. https://medium.com/@gosteward/the-rise-of-a-black-cattle-rancher-in-louisiana-3aa29a25eacf
Congratulations Shashank Samala ! Excited about what Heirloom is bringing to CADDO-BOSSIER PARISHES PORT COMMISSION in North Louisiana! Louisiana Economic Development
A great innovation that fully considers and implements the calcium cycle. With Heirloom, calcium is part of the solution to climate change! Congrats Shashank Samala 👏
Congratulations Shashank Samala on this exciting pioneering news and accomplishments!!! It has been my pleasure to support Heirloom and your phenomenal team from day-1 at the Port of Caddo-Bossier and in Northwest Louisiana.
So exciting Shashank Samala congrats :)
Amazing strides, Shashank Samala and Heirloom team! Congratulations! 🎉
