HOUSTON, April 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Occidental (NYSE: OXY) and its subsidiary 1PointFive today announced that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approved its Class VI permits to sequester carbon dioxide (CO₂) captured from STRATOS, when the world’s largest Direct Air Capture (DAC) facility begins operating in Ector County, Texas. The permits, the first issued to sequester CO₂ from a DAC project, allow Occidental to leverage its expertise managing large quantities of CO₂ while advancing technology that strengthens the United States' energy security and furthers economic growth in Texas.
The permits, issued under the Safe Drinking Water Act’s Underground Injection Control program, are a critical component of Occidental’s plan to securely and durably store CO₂ captured from the atmosphere. Throughout the EPA’s rigorous review process, Occidental demonstrated that its technologies, processes, monitoring programs, and other procedures meet or exceed federal and state requirements for injection wells that store CO₂ in geologic formations more than one mile underground.

The permits are a catalyst to unlock value from carbon dioxide and advance Direct Air Capture technology as a solution to help organizations address their emissions or produce vital resources and fuels."
