Nippon Sanso Holdings Corporation hereby announces that Matheson Tri-Gas, Inc., NSHD’s U.S. operating company entered into a gas supply agreement with 1PointFive to provide oxygen for the carbon capture, utilization and sequestration company’s first Direct Air Capture (DAC) plant in Texas.
MATHESON will invest in and establish an Air Separation Unit to supply Oxygen to “Stratos”, 1PointFive’s DAC plant under construction in Ector County, Texas. The Oxygen is used in the DAC process to produce a pure stream of CO2 which is then securely sequestered in geologic reservoirs.
Stratos is expected to commence operations in mid-2025 and capture up to 500,000 tons of CO2 per year when fully operational, making it the world’s largest DAC plant. The Oxygen solution was developed by MATHESON’s onsite business unit in collaboration with our leading technology and engineering partners. The solution targets flexibility and reliable plant operations.

NSHD Group, in its effort to foster a carbon neutral society, is pursuing multiple business and program initiatives to select customers for carefully selected projects. We are committed to continue to explore opportunities to realize growth and a carbon-neutral society by expanding this business on a global scale.
