Since January 25, 2021, your contribution to Stripe Climate enabled significant progress:
 |
|
Four new companies joined the Stripe Climate portfolio. Stripe Climate is the first customer for three of them. |
 |
|
Future Forest successfully completed their first enhanced weathering trial. Building on their findings, they have launched commercial scale trials (>1,000 tons of basalt). |

|
|
Our portfolio consists of a variety of promising early-stage carbon removal technologies. Funds contributed to date have been used to buy the following types of carbon removal: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Electrochemical ocean capture 22% |
|
|
|
|
|
Mineralization in concrete 11% |
|
|
|
|
|
Storage in peridotite 11% |
|
|
|
|
|

44.01 ($170/ton) turns CO₂ into rock, harnessing the natural power of mineralization. Their technology injects CO₂ into peridotite, an abundantly available rock, where it is stored permanently. This storage approach can be paired with a variety of capture technologies.

Ebb Carbon ($1,950/ton) mitigates ocean acidification while capturing CO₂. Using membranes and electrochemistry, Ebb removes acid from the ocean and enhances its natural ability to draw down CO₂ from the air for storage as oceanic bicarbonate.

Eion ($500/ton) accelerates mineral weathering by mixing silicate rocks into soil. Their pelletized product is applied by farmers to increase carbon in the soil, which over time makes its way into the ocean where it’s permanently stored as bicarbonate. Alongside their technology development, Eion is also conducting a novel soil study to improve the field’s measurement of CO₂ uptake.

Sustaera ($700/ton) uses ceramic monolith air contactors to capture CO₂ directly from the air for permanent storage underground. Their direct air capture system, powered by carbon-free electricity and built with modular components, is designed for quick manufacturing and capture at scale.
