"This first commercial direct air capture facility is the closest thing on Earth that we have to a time machine, because it can turn back the clock on climate change by removing carbon dioxide that has already been emitted into our atmosphere," said Heirloom’s CEO and Co-Founder, Shashank Samala. "Heirloom Carbon Technologies, right here in Tracy, California, is the blueprint for how America can beat climate change," said Secretary of Energy Jennifer M Granholm, speaking at the official unveiling ceremony. Today’s announcement represents the first DAC facility in the United States to capture CO2, permanently sequester it, and fulfill commercial removal purchases – supporting and helping to cement the leadership of both the United States and State of California to deploy critical climate solutions to meet net zero commitments. Located in Tracy, California, the facility is being formally unveiled today at a ribbon-cutting ceremony with Secretary Granholm, California Lieutenant Governor Eleni Koulanakis, the CEO of PG&E Corporation, the head of the California State Building Trades Union, the City of Tracy, elected officials, and community members. ![]() Heirloom's Direct Air Capture (DAC) facility in Tracy, CA uses limestone rocks to pull already-emitted CO2 from Earth's atmosphere.
