Mitigating the worst impacts of climate change by developing the world’s most cost-effective CO2 removal technology
About us
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.

In the two years since the Inflation Reduction Act's passage, we’ve opened America’s first commercial Direct Air Capture (DAC) facility, announced two future facilities in Louisiana (including a million-ton removal DAC Hub which will create thousands of jobs) and signed some of the largest deals in carbon removal to-date. Thank you to the leaders who secured the passage of this historical legislation. Your votes have put America on the cutting edge of climate innovation!
Happy Birthday, IRA!

Heirloom and our partners have been awarded U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) funding to study the feasibility of two Regional Direct Air Capture Hubs in Illinois and Florida! Led by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, we’ll be laying the foundation for large-scale carbon removal in two regions with the geology, workforce, and infrastructure to expand a growing class of carbon removal careers. https://lnkd.in/giwWHADA

Head of Climate Policy (Fmr. Senior Policy Advisor Obama White House; VP at Postmates/Uber; Deputy Dir at ACLU)
In just the last 2 weeks, we’ve been invited to brief Republican governors, Progressive lawmakers, and Gulf Coast leaders alike. And whether we’re in Baton Rouge or the Bay Area, everytime we're asked how we scale the removal of greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere, our answer is the same: Public Policy. As my CEO Shashank Samala says, re-architecting our economy is hard. And young startups alone can’t remove & manage trash from the atmosphere -- unless the public sector, private sector & civil society work together. That’s why we need Demand-side policies, where new laws create new buyer categories for carbon dioxide removal (CDR). That's why we need Supply-side policies where state governments help offset the costs of capital, storage & energy. And that’s why we’re tirelessly pushing for both, with policymakers across the political spectrum. Heirloom made history this week by broadening the tent of bipartisan support, unveiling dual investments in the Republican-led state of Louisiana (just months after unveiling a novel technology in the Democratic led state of California). But the story can’t end just there. There are no red state wins & blue state wins in this game. There there are no partisan-ideologies to be foisted upon communities. There is only the precious heirloom of our planet. Our ability to pass it on; our energy security; our ability to invest in the people & places most impacted by a changing planet; our ability to create good quality jobs; & our ability to win the future. And all of that -- is rooted in thoughtful CDR & decarbonization policy. Many thanks to the Western Governors' Association; California's Environmental Caucus Chair Laura Friedman, Progressive Caucus Chair Alex T. Lee, Natural Resources Chair Isaac Bryan; Ken Branson; Louisiana's Secretary of Economic Development Susan Bonnett Bourgeois and the CADDO-BOSSIER PARISHES PORT COMMISSION for inviting Heirloom into the fold to rewrite our energy future together.

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

We’re excited to announce that we’re bringing 320,000 tons of yearly CO2 removal capacity to Northwest Louisiana with two new DAC facilities! Located at the Port of Caddo-Bossier near Shreveport, the first 17,000 ton facility will come online in 2026. A separate facility will be built in the same location, with 100,000 tons of capacity to come online in 2027, and an additional 200,000 tons of capacity to come in subsequent years. This larger facility is Heirloom’s portion of Project Cypress, part of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) supported DAC Hub program. Here’s why this matters: 🏗️ Scaling Heirloom’s DAC solution: This is a major scale up from the 1,000 ton facility that we opened late last year as America’s first commercial DAC facility. 👷 Growing a new energy economy: Combined, these two DAC facilities will create over 1,000 jobs in Northwest Louisiana, helping to advance a new energy economy in the state and further establish America as a DAC leader. 💰 Expanding the economic impact of Project Cypress: With Heirloom’s Project Cypress facility in Northwest Louisiana and Climeworks' Project Cypress facility in Southwest Louisiana, we’re expanding statewide the economic impact and job creation potential of this DOE program. 🌎 Leveraging public investments to expand DAC: We’re leveraging the workforce and infrastructure investments that are making Project Cypress happen to add CO2 removal capacity with a privately-funded 17,000 ton DAC facility. This shows how government support can spur private investment in the CDR space and service more customer demand for high quality carbon removals.
