Occidental and ADNOC team up on planned Texas DAC plant
US energy company Occidental has signed an agreement with XRG, the investment arm of UAE state-owned Adnoc, to develop a direct air capture (DAC) plant in South Texas capable of removing 500,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.
As part of the joint venture, XRG could invest up to $500m to support the development of the site, which has the potential to store up to three billion tonnes of CO2.
The site will be located close to industrial facilities and energy infrastructure along the US Gulf Coast, where CO2 can be transported for use or stored in geologic formations.
