(Active Nengdong, March 22, 2023) Recently, at the 41st Cambridge Energy Week (CERAWEEK) conference held in Houston, Texas, USA, Christian Bruch, President and CEO of Siemens Energy (Christian Bruch) and the president and CEO of Occidental (Occidental)Vicki HollubIt was jointly announced that Siemens Energy will supply compressor equipment for the world's first large-scale direct-air carbon dioxide (DAC) plant built by Occidental Petroleum subsidiary 1PointFive. Once put into operation, two sets of compressors provided by Siemens Energy will support the plant to capture up to 500,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year.

Siemens Energy will supply motor-driven compressor sets for this direct-air carbon dioxide capture plant, including a 13,000-horsepower fully modular moisture compressor and an 8,500-horsepower dry gas compressor. After additional processing of the collected carbon dioxide by the unit, the final product will be pressed into the pipeline and injected into the underground reservoir.

1PointFive's plant will provide practical solutions to achieve net zero emissions in industries where it is difficult to reduce emissions. The captured carbon dioxide can be safely contained in saltwater layers deep in the stratum, or it can be synthesized into hydrocarbons to produce low carbon or net zero emissions, such as transportation fuel and products such as chemicals and construction materials.

Christian Bruch, president and CEO of Siemens Energy, said: “We are delighted to be involved in this important project. “Technology that effectively captures and stores carbon dioxide is key to achieving climate goals, and close cooperation between Siemens Energy and partners such as Occidental Petroleum is the foundation for driving innovative solutions.”
