Heirloom’s mission
Heirloom aims to remove one billion tons of carbon dioxide by 2035 through natural processes. Its system of capturing, processing, and storing CO2 is the world’s most cost-effective direct air capture solution. Once it captures the CO2, Heirloom compresses and pumps it underground into geological reservoirs for safe and permanent storage.
