The investment firm BlackRock will put $550 million into a direct-air-capture (DAC) project being developed by a subsidiary of the oil and gas giant Occidental. Under the terms of the deal, BlackRock and Oxy will form a joint venture that will own Stratos, a DAC facility that Oxy is building in Texas.

In August, Oxy bought Carbon Engineering, the DAC technology provider for the project, for $1.1 billion.
