1PointFive has agreed to sell more than 15,000 tonnes of direct air capture (DAC) carbon removal credits through channel partners including CUR8, Supercritical, and Patch. The company says these partnerships make it easier for small and mid-sized buyers to purchase high-integrity removal credits without running a full supplier procurement process. Buyers have used the credits for large events and year-end additions to meet annual sustainability targets. The move reflects a broader push to bring CDR credits beyond large corporate buyers. By working through integrated marketplaces, 1PointFive aims to right-size volumes for smaller customers and expand where DAC credits actually get used. The volume is still modest compared to what CDR needs to scale, but the distribution model could help more organizations access long-duration removal options.

15k tonnes is still small next to what CDR needs to scale, but the channel partner model makes sense. Small buyers don't want to run a full supplier procurement for a few hundred tonnes. CUR8, Supercritical, and Patch are already in that space, so this is about distribution, not new capture capacity.

The interesting part is where these tonnes actually land. Sporting events and year-end top-ups are fine, but DAC credits only matter if the underlying plant is running on clean power and the capture is measured properly. No detail here on delivery timelines or verification, so I'd want that before reading too much into it.

Channel partners lower the entry barrier, but the bigger question is whether buyers are paying enough to support a real DAC buildout. 15k tonnes through resellers is a start. The market still needs clear accounting rules and durable demand signals, otherwise this stays a niche purchase for companies that want the PR.

Good to see 1PointFive treating resellers as a real sales channel. That is how you get CDR beyond the usual corporate giants. The volume is modest, but if these partnerships lead to repeat purchases, it adds up. I just wish the article gave a breakdown of how much went through each partner.
