The logo for Occidental Petroleum is displayed on a screen on the floor at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York, U.S., April 30, 2019.
The DAC technology is in early stages of commercialization and will require multibillion-dollar investments to prove it can work economically and generate profits.
President Joe Biden's administration views DAC technology as a tool to help meet a goal of neutralizing emissions by 2050, if it can be commercialized and applied at industrial scale.
While carbon capture is applied to emissions produced at industrial facilities, DAC actively removes CO2 from the air.
Some of that money will fund Occidental's 30 proposed DAC plants in Kleberg Country, Texas.
