Heirloom Carbon develops technology for carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere using limestone. The company accelerates the natural process of carbon mineralization to address climate change.

Heirloom Carbon

Mitigating the worst impacts of climate change by developing the world’s most cost-effective DAC technology to permanently remove CO2 from the atmosphere.

Our technology rapidly accelerates the natural processes that enable limestone to absorb carbon dioxide from the air from a timespan of years to days.

In 2023, Heirloom established the first and only Direct Air Capture facility in North America that permanently captures CO2. Our customers are the world’s biggest buyers of carbon removal including Microsoft, JP Morgan, McKinsey, Stripe, Shopify and more.

At times, the deluge of climate news can feel overwhelming and it can be difficult to know where and how to start making a difference. Thankfully Grant Faber has outlined eight actionable things you can do today to help remove CO2:

🎤 Advocating to political representatives
👷‍♀️ Volunteering with The OpenAir Collective
🔊 Communicating about CDR 
💰 Finding ways to increase demand
👩‍💼 Applying for a new job
🌎 Finding solutions to the moral hazard
📚 Continuing your education
🔬 Conducting “small experiments.”

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.

Nothing better than seeing countries compete for climate leadership and building a new energy economy. In the US, the Inflation Reduction Act established a $180 per ton 45Q production tax credit for Direct Air Capture. 

Yesterday, Canada enacted a 60 percent (!!) investment tax credit for DAC projects’ capex. Canada and the US are now neck-and-neck for DAC incentives. I guess I’ll start to give my friends in Canada a call…

On the heels of the hottest 12 months in recorded history, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres made clear that it's crunch time for climate action and carbon removal:

"We need high integrity carbon markets that are credible and with rules consistent with limiting warming to 1.5 degrees. 

I also encourage scientists and engineers to focus urgently on carbon dioxide removal and storage – to deal safely and sustainably with final emissions from the heavy industries hardest to clean. 

And I urge governments to support them. 

But let me be clear: These technologies are not a silver bullet; they cannot be a substitute for drastic emissions cuts or an excuse to delay fossil fuel phase-out. But we need to act on every front."

We couldn't agree more. Responsible removal, alongside steep reductions, keeps our global climate goals within reach. We'll keep working with the urgency demanded by the UNSG to scale a low-cost carbon removal solution!
