Amazon will purchase the credits from the 1PointFive direct air capture plant in Texas, which is being developed by oil company Occidental’s Oxy Low Carbon Ventures subsidiary

is making its first investment in direct air capture technology, which removes emissions from the atmosphere, by committing to purchase 250,000 tons of removal credits over 10 years, it said on Tuesday.
