Heirloom

Achieving net-zero requires enabling technologies today that can scale to remove billions of tons of CO2 from the atmosphere. Heirloom, along with 44 other organizations, joined the Negative Emissions Platform to outline a game plan for embedding high-quality carbon removal into the next EU mandate—a strategic roadmap guiding EU policy for the next five years.

Heirloom's co-founder Noah McQueen has been named to MIT Technology Review's list of 2024 Innovators Under 35! "Noah McQueen, 28, cofounded Heirloom Carbon Technologies in 2020 in a bid to drive down the costs and scale up [carbon removal] facilities. As an undergraduate at the Colorado School of Mines, McQueen had been searching for ways to use their love of math and science to achieve “an impact that’s bigger than myself.” When they began working with Jennifer Wilcox, a chemical engineering professor who had done pioneering work on capturing carbon dioxide from industrial plants or plucking it out of the air, McQueen finally saw a way to do so."

In the two years since the Inflation Reduction Act's passage, we’ve opened America’s first commercial Direct Air Capture (DAC) facility, announced two future facilities in  Louisiana (including a million-ton removal DAC Hub which will create thousands of jobs) and signed some of the largest deals in carbon removal to-date. Thank you to the leaders who secured the passage of this historical legislation. Your votes have put  America on the cutting edge of climate innovation!
