Amazon announced that it will help fund the world’s largest deployment of direct air capture technology by purchasing 250,000 tons of carbon removal over the next decade from STRATOS, the first DAC plant from 1PointFive, a carbon removal technology firm.
The carbon that is removed through the air capture systems will then be stored underground in saline aquifers.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, 250,000 tons of carbon dioxide is equivalent to the emissions in one year from 55,633 gasoline-powered cars.
