1PointFive Selects Worley for FEED on Milestone Direct Air Capture Facility
PR88159
HOUSTON, Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
- Global EPC firm Worley has been awarded the initial engineering phase of
1PointFive's first direct air capture facility, the first commercial scale
deployment of Carbon Engineering's direct air capture technology.
1PointFive (
) announced today its selection of Worley for the Front End Engineering and
Design (FEED) phase of its first direct air capture (DAC) facility in the U.S.
Permian Basin—DAC 1. The project will support 1PointFive's mission to stabilize
the climate through the commercialization and deployment of Carbon
Engineering's (
) DAC technology that captures CO2 directly from the atmosphere. DAC 1
represents the technology's first commercial-scale deployment. This FEED
agreement is the first step of an alliance between 1PointFive and Worley. The
initial focus of this collaboration is on the Permian Clean Campus targeting
DAC 1 through DAC 4.

When complete, this facility will be capable of extracting one million metric
tons of atmospheric CO2 annually, serving as a starting point for the
acceleration of commercial-scale DAC deployment as critical infrastructure to
help companies around the world meet CO2 emission reduction targets. The FEED
phase for DAC 1 will focus on the first train, which will capture 500,000
metric tons of CO2 annually, and is scheduled to begin within the next 90
days, with completion estimated by the end of 2021. Upon completion of FEED,
the alliance will move into the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC)
phase.
"We partnered with Worley for this historic project because our organizations
are like-minded in their vision of sustainability," said 1PointFive Chairman
Richard Jackson. "Worley has a proven track record of true innovation, and that
will be essential to bring DAC to commercial scale. This first-of-its-kind
facility is taking on one of the greatest challenges of our time. Our combined
knowledge and expertise will not only make the project a success but also make
real progress in the creation of a circular economy."
"Partnering with 1PointFive on this project aligns perfectly with our desire to
deliver a more sustainable world," noted Worley CEO Chris Ashton. "And their
vision of a circular economy that includes direct air capture has the power to
drive future sustainability at the intersection of economics, energy and the
environment. Climate change is a big challenge to take on. But we'll have some
of the brightest minds in the world on this historic project."
In DAC 1's FEED, Worley and 1PointFive will explore next-generation technology,
materials and manufacturing approaches consistent with a circular economy—from
recycled plastics to 3D printing and fully integrated zero-emission power.
These innovations will contribute to the facilities' sustainability and capital
efficiency while creating data-driven optimization for continuous improvement
of future DAC facilities.
