Carbon Management
SOLUTIONS
We support initiatives and projects focused on carbon adaptation, mitigation and removal technologies with a focus on justice.
Supporting Impactful Technologies
Developing cheaper, more efficient sources of energy is crucial for us to meet the constantly growing demand worldwide. For the energy sources we currently rely on, we must find ways to manage the huge carbon output they create.
Without carbon management technologies and alternative, cheap energy technologies, the effects on our societies and the lifestyles in which we have become accustomed to living will be irreversibly damaged.
Our foundation accelerates promising carbon management startups that work to build technologies with the hope of reversing these catastrophic effects.
