1PointFive, a carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS) company, announced on January 13, 2026, that Bain & Company has purchased 9,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) credits over three years enabled by Direct Air Capture (DAC). This agreement represents Bain's first purchase of DAC removal credits to address residual operational emissions and meet its current net-negative commitment.

The 9,000 tons of removed CO2 is equivalent to the emissions resulting from an estimated 10,000 long-haul roundtrip flights for an economy-class passenger. The CDR credits will be produced from STRATOS, 1PointFive's large-scale DAC facility in Texas, which is progressing through start-up activities.

Technology and Storage Infrastructure

As a subsidiary of Occidental, 1PointFive is leveraging more than 50 years of carbon management expertise and major projects experience to deliver commercial-scale DAC. The captured carbon dioxide underlying the CDR credits will be stored through durable geologic sequestration.

Anthony Cottone, President and General Manager of 1PointFive, stated that collaborating with Bain & Company reflects their shared commitment to innovation and to accelerating the adoption of Direct Air Capture technology. He believes this agreement demonstrates continued momentum for the solution while supporting the development of vital domestic infrastructure.

Bain's Carbon Credit Portfolio

Bain's award-winning carbon credit sourcing program includes a diverse set of CDR technologies, and the company has long been a leading supporter of the voluntary carbon market. The consulting firm has invested in 1.1 million tonnes of high-integrity carbon removal credits over the past five years.

Sam Israelit, Bain's Chief Sustainability Officer, expressed pride in partnering with 1PointFive and adding them to their portfolio of engineered carbon removal technologies. He noted that 1PointFive's track record of developing DAC technology, coupled with its deep understanding of what it takes to deliver large-scale infrastructure projects, uniquely positions it to lead in this emerging segment.
