  Frontier is designed to give researchers, entrepreneurs, project developers, and investors the confidence to begin building carbon removal technologies today, and to do so with urgency.

  The largest fund for carbon-removal purchases is here, with nearly $1 billion from Stripe, Alphabet, Meta, Shopify and McKinsey. Now startups can use those purchases as a way to raise money to build their large-scale plants. https://www.bloomberg.com/...

  Why is it necessary? Scientists say carbon removal will be crucial to meet climate goals, esp. 1.5°C. “We are relying on technologies that we don't know can get to that scale,” said @nanransohoff. “If we don't hustle and figure out the real potential.” https://www.bloomberg.com/.…

  “Some of the world's largest companies will spend $925 million buying offsets from startups that remove carbon dioxide from the air. The Frontier fund, a public-benefit corporation owned by @stripe, has also received funding from @Google, @Shopify, @Meta and @McKinsey.”
