ASX release

WORLEY LIMITED (WORLEY)

(ASX: WOR)

1PointFive awards Worley FEED contract for direct air capture project

1PointFive Inc. (1PointFive) has awarded Worley a front end engineering design (FEED) contract for its first direct air capture (DAC) unit for its DAC facility to be constructed in the U.S. Permian Basin. 1PointFive is a joint venture between Oxy Low Carbon Ventures (a subsidiary of Occidental Petroleum Corporation) and Rusheen Capital.

The DAC facility will be the first commercial-scale development using Carbon Engineering Ltd’s DAC technology. The technology involves the removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) directly from the atmosphere. Each DAC unit has an expected design capacity to extract 1 million metric tons of atmospheric CO2 annually.

Upon completion of the FEED, 1PointFive and Worley expect to form an alliance and move into the engineering, procurement and construction phase for DAC 1 with plans for DACs 2 to 4 to follow. The FEED services will be led by Worley’s Houston office, with support from Worley’s Global Integrated Delivery team in India.

“We are delighted to have been awarded the FEED contract and we are looking forward to forming the alliance with 1PointFive. This direct air capture project is a starting point for the deployment of commercial-scale DAC to help companies meet CO2 emission reduction targets and aligns with Worley’s strategic focus of delivering a more sustainable world”, said Chris Ashton, Chief Executive Officer of Worley.

Authorized for release by Nuala O’Leary, Group Company Secretary.

Addressing climate change requires removing CO 2 from the air

Immediate and significant deployment of CO2 removal infrastructure is needed to limit global warming to 1.5°C

All pathways that limit global warming to 1.5°C project the use of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) in the order of 100-1000 gigatonnes of CO2 over the 21[st] century. CDR would be used to compensate for residual emissions and, in most cases, achieve net-negative emissions to return global warming to 1.5°C following a peak.

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)

“It is forecast that the carbon removal industry will grow to the size of today’s oil & gas industry by 2050”

IPCC: net-zero emissions required by 2050 to limit global warming to 1.5°C ~50% of CO 2 reduction needs to come from the atmosphere

DAC+S: Direct Air Capture + Sequestration BECCS: Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage

DAC+ sequestration – a technical solution for carbon removal Driving towards stabilizing the climate

Direct Air Capture (DAC)

  • CO 2 in the atmosphere is very dilute, so direct air capture processes must

  • contact large volumes of air cost-effectively

  • DAC uses large fans to pull ambient air through contactors where CO2 binds to a liquid sorbent, which is further processed to precipitate the CO2 as a solid

  • When heated, the solid state releases pure CO2 that is then captured, compressed into a liquid, and sequestered by injection into a geologic formation

Benefits of DAC+Sequestration (DAC+S)

  • Geological sequestration storage

  • Mechanical/chemical DAC process for capturing CO2 works faster than natural processes

  • DAC+S is scalable, with few location restrictions and land-use efficiency
