1PointFive’s mission is to become the leading developer of Direct Air Capture facilities worldwide. A partnership between Oxy Low Carbon Ventures and Rusheen Capital Management, 1PointFive merges Occidental's leadership in carbon management and carbon dioxide storage with the commercialization prowess and carbon-to-value vision of Rusheen. The company’s vision is to leverage these unique strengths to deliver Carbon Engineering's leading Direct Air Capture technology on an industrial scale throughout the United States.Multiple projections have been conducted by governments, coalitions and international panels which all state the same thing: we must act now to avoid a 1.5°C or greater rise in global temperatures—a climate change scenario that could endanger both the planet and the lives of future generations. Recent scientific research has indicated that to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C, global emissions need to reach net-zero by 2050. Even with aggressive emissions reduction, the IPCC and other thought leaders have concluded that up to 20 Gigatons—that’s 20 billion tons—of CO2 will have to be actively removed from the atmosphere annually to achieve net-zero by mid-century. Fortunately, a key technology has emerged to help us reduce both future emissions and existing atmospheric CO2: Direct Air Capture (DAC). DAC facilities capture CO2 directly from the air with an engineered, mechanical system and then permanently and securely stores the CO2 deep underground in geological formations.For more information, visit www.1pointfive.com.

Carbon Engineering ("CE") is commercializing direct air capture technology ("DAC"). DAC enables large facilities to manage emissions from any source or location so that industrial economies of scale can be applied to the large fraction of emissions that come from distributed and mobile sources such as vehicles, airplanes, and buildings. DAC can provide pure CO2 at point of demand for industrial use, and atmospheric CO2 can be used via multiple production pathways to manufacture ultra-low emissions fuels.CE’s DAC technology strategy is to develop a low-risk, chemical-based CO2 air capture system that we can bring to market in the near-term with competitive economics. Our air capture system combines proven, scalable industrial technologies with CE’s proprietary designs and innovations.

SolarReserve is a solar energy project development company that was formed to solve two of the fundamental problems of energy supply with one integrated solution: how to provide large-scale energy solutions that are renewable and how to store that energy in order to provide firm supply “on-demand” to meet peak energy requirements, day or night.Unlike conventional coal, natural gas, oil or nuclear energy technologies that use limited fuel sources that create pollution or hazardous wastes, SolarReserve’s power plants draw their heat from the sun, earth’s ultimate source of clean energy. And unlike other sources of renewable energy, such as wind and photovoltaics, SolarReserve’s power plants can deliver electricity whenever it is needed, 24 hours a day through its market-leading energy storage technology. By solving these two key problems, SolarReserve provides utility-scale, clean, renewable electricity generation with firm supply to meet demand, day or night.SolarReserve holds the exclusive worldwide license to the molten salt solar power tower technology developed by Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne (PWR). Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne demonstrated the technology at the Solar Two power plant in Southern California in the late 1990s.At present, Solar Reserve has a development portfolio of more than 25 projects featuring its licensed solar power technology with potential output of more than 3,000 megawatts in the United States, Europe, MENA, South Africa, Australia, China, India and Latin America. In addition, SolarReserve is also developing more than 1,100 MW of photovoltaic projects across the United States, and is actively acquiring new sites to add to the pipeline in the US and overseas.

Founded in 1996, Stamps.com was created by Jim McDermott, Ari Engelberg and Jeff Green. At the time of creation, the company was known as StampMaster. Stampmaster was the first company to get USPS approval for beta testing and successfully brought internet postage to market, but the company did not survive the bursting of the dot-com bubble in 2000. In 2001 its domain and patents were bought by a fellow early entrant in the digital postage market, Stamps.com.The Stamps.com service is a software-application that provides the ability to buy and print USPS-approved postage directly from a user's computer. Customers can print postage for both domestic and international mail pieces using their own ink-jet or laser printer. Postage can be printed directly on envelopes, plain paper or onto shipping labels.
