❗Funding for early stage carbon dioxide removal (#CDR) startups❗ 🔊 Milkywire’s latest Call for Proposals is live, inviting early-stage CDR suppliers to step forward and drive innovation. 🤔 What makes this call unique? Alongside Frontier, it’s one of the only initiatives specifically designed to support very early-stage CDR suppliers. It’s about more than purchases, it’s about expanding the ecosystem, sparking innovation, and ensuring no promising solution is left behind. By the numbers: ✅ 230 submissions were received in last year’s call, evidence of the growing momentum in this space. ✅ Milkywire, Frontier, and Microsoft lead the way as the most active buyers in the ecosystem, purchasing from more suppliers than anyone else. ✅ First buyers matter: Milkywire were the first buyers for: 80% of Direct Air Capture (#DAC) companies 85% of Enhanced Rock Weathering (#ERW) projects 75% of Ocean and River Alkalinity Enhancement suppliers (#OAE) 📊 To date, Milkywire, WRLD Foundation, and Klarna have purchased credits for €6m from 27 suppliers across 9 methods, many of which are shaping the future of carbon removal. 🥅 The goal? Not just offsetting but building a durable carbon removal ecosystem that delivers scalable impact. 🔗 Apply now by January 19th 2025: https://lnkd.in/gTrW4pPN 👏 Shout-out to Robert Höglund und his team for their continuous efforts to scale the Climate Transformation Fund.
