"More and more entrepreneurs are quietly directing a portion of their earnings toward the greater good. They don’t always talk about it—they just want to make a difference,” says Olga Liash, board member at CarbonFix. She calls it ‘capitalantropy’ and explains why this is good news for sustainable start-ups with ideas that some might deem ‘too crazy to work’: https://buff.ly/4fmtrGy .

Look: at the Climate Change Summit 2024 in Bucharest, Tom Meijeraan of Arctic Reflections shared a powerful reminder of the urgency we face: by 2030, Arctic summers could be ice-free. With destructive effects on biodiversity, sea levels, and our climate in general. A big thank you to Tom, for again highlighting the critical reality of potential ice-free Arctic summers. #ClimateChangeSummit #ArcticReflections #CarbonFix https://lnkd.in/eRjRn_up

Is your scientifically backed moonshot idea eligible for CarbonFix funding? It is, if your innovation is new and will reduce or capture megatons of CO2e, has limited prior funding, and you have a dedicated team or founder in place. Do you fit the profile? Ready to make a real impact? Get in touch with us! https://buff.ly/4e2UYgw #carbonfix #climateaction

We are thrilled to announce our initial funding of two new projects: Skyrenu technologies and Sahara Blue Carbon . Skyrenu technologies has great ecosystem momentum as one of the XPRIZE finalists and is among the demonstrator partners of Deep Sky . Moreover, Skyrenu offers a compelling approach that integrates carbon capture and storage in one solution, along with a feasible scaling roadmap. Sahara Blue Carbon represents a promising new Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) strategy that focuses on deploying olivine in a closed system. They are on a quest to achieve a reliable assessment of the carbon capture potential of rock weathering in an ideal situation. We are excited to work with their team, including lead scientist professor Eric Oelkers . Proudly supporting these projects by accelerating their developments towards groundbreaking breakthroughs. Venture philanthropy in full motion! We very much look forward to working with you Martin Brouillette Gabriel Vézina and Philip Andrews Taj Heer MBA .

Accelerating earth’s natural processes…. Vesta, PBC , among the first projects supported by CarbonFix, recently completed the deployment of one of the worlds largest operational permanent carbon removal pilot projects. Vesta placed 8,200 metric tons of carbon-removing olivine sand off the coast of Duck, North-Carolina. The goal? To remove 5,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide. We are following this closely. Stay tuned! #carbonfix #vesta #climateaction Tom G. Kelly Erhart

We are thrilled to announce our initial funding of two CDR pioneers: Stathmos-Balance the Climate and AirZyme . Both use Direct Air Capture solutions: Stathmos’ approach is powered by proprietary advanced materials, while AirZyme draws inspiration from natural respiratory processes. Both these ventures participated in the remove accelerator program; big shout out to Hans Westerhof and team for being such a great partner.
