Project Cypress exists in a complex landscape of science, technology, and community engagement. To help inform the public on key project-related topics, the Project Cypress team has created a series of Posters.
What is Project Cypress Southwest?
Project Cypress Southwest is a facility proposed for construction near Vinton, Louisiana, that will use a tested process known as Direct Air Capture (DAC) to remove excess carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and store it safely and permanently underground.
What is Direct Air Capture?
Direct Air Capture (DAC) is carbon removal technology that draws existing carbon dioxide (CO2) directly from the atmosphere for safe and permanent storage underground.
How could Project Cypress Southwest affect my community?
Learn about how Project Cypress Southwest will affect traffic, viewshed, noise, air quality, water quality, and floodplains in Vinton, Louisiana.
Are Direct Air Capture and Carbon Capture the same?
While both Direct Air Capture (DAC) and carbon capture (ccs) technology must be located in areas accessible to underground wells for storing carbon dioxide (CO2), their methods for capturing carbon are completely different.
What are the benefits of Direct Air Capture?
Project Cypress Southwest will be designed to remove up to 1 million tons of excess carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere from the atmosphere per year while bringing numerous economic, educational, and workforce benefits to the area.
