Rockwell Automation, one of the world’s leaders in industrial automation, informatization and digital transformation, has signed an agreement with 1PointFive to purchase carbon dioxide removal (CDR) credits from the Direct Air capture (DAC) production site being built by 1PointFive in Texas.

With the goal of harnessing the full potential of human imagination and technology to create more possibilities for people and make the world more connected, productive and sustainable, Rockwell has been committed to improving the efficiency of industrial processes through advanced technologies and domain expertise for more than 120 years, including the best use of scarce resources. The company’s overall strategy not only helps drive its own sustainability, but also helps its customers and communities become more sustainable and equitable. Rockwell’s commitment to environmental stewardship and exploring ways to accelerate the net-zero transition are important reasons for this collaboration.

“We are delighted to be working with 1PointFive on our journey SAM-DA-400/480-14B-P4N-F
towards our goal of net zero carbon emissions. Rockwell plans to be carbon neutral by 2030.” Tom O’Reilly, vice president of sustainability at Rockwell Automation, said: “With data-driven solutions, we help tens of thousands of customers around the world increase their productivity and achieve their sustainability goals every day. As a global manufacturing company, we share 1PointFive’s desire to make a positive impact on the world.”

Once operational, 1PointFive’s DAC production site STRATOS will be able to extract CO2 directly from ambient air, addressing CO2 emissions from decentralized sources such as cars and air travel, which are often difficult to deal with.

The CDR credit from 1PointFive aligns with Rockwell’s goal to help build practical, transparent and durable carbon removal solutions by supporting technologies such as DAC to advance the Sustainable Development Goals.

“We are excited to support Rockwell’s sustainability SAM-DA-400/480-14B-P4N-F
strategy while demonstrating how DAC credits can be used to address vehicle emissions.” Michael Avery, president and general manager of 1PointFive, said: “The agreement highlights the DAC’s ability to address emissions, particularly those from sources that are difficult to decarbonise, and provides examples for other companies to follow in advancing their own climate goals.”
