Haris's ocean conservation journey
After losing his tattoo business and home in a fire, Haris discovered the value of recyclable materials and has been collecting plastic from riverbanks and beaches since April 2021.
70-100 kg plastic collected weekly“I hope that more people will become aware of the importance of preserving nature and the ocean from plastic pollution. When I'm surfing with my son, we collect plastic waste together.”

Bashay's family legacy project
Bashay Shawky, a dedicated father in Cairo, spends his afternoons collecting plastic bound for the Nile River and seas. His bonuses help meet his family's basic needs, have funded his children's education and helped his oldest daughter get married.

carbon removal needs a bold assist
Why reducing emissions is not sufficient?
To avoid the worst effects of climate change, most climate models agree it won't be enough to just reduce emissions. We'll also need to permanently remove gigatons of carbon dioxide already in the atmosphere and ocean.
While we have some ways to capture carbon, such as planting trees or soil carbon sequestration, these solutions alone are unlikely to scale to the size of the problem. In short, we need a gigaton-scale portfolio of new and permanent carbon removal solutions.
While carbon removal has made significant progress over the past few years, it's still not at all on track to get to the required scale. Permanent removals by new technologies still add up to a tiny fraction of the scale needed every year. Having carbon removal impact options can give the industry the confidence to begin building, and to do so with urgency.

carbon removal pathways
Three ways to pull carbon out of the air for good
Discover the cutting-edge technologies we support to remove CO₂ from the atmosphere and store it permanently.
pathway 1
Biomass Carbon Removal & Storage
Biomass carbon removal and storage (BiCRS) are processes that take biomass or organic waste, which contain carbon captured via photosynthesis, and durably store the embodied carbon.
Approach
Portfolio companiesTakes organic matter that has captured CO₂ through photosynthesis and converts it into stable carbon storage through processes like pyrolysis, gasification, or burial in geological formations.
- Charm IndustrialDeploys mobile pyrolyzers to convert distributed biomass into dense bio-oil for underground storage, enabling scalable, cost-efficient carbon removal.
- Vaulted DeepInjects untreated, high-moisture organic waste deep underground, turning a disposal problem into a scalable, low-cost carbon storage solution.
- ExergiRetrofits a Swedish district heating plant with carbon capture to deliver BECCS without additional biomass use, leveraging sustainable infrastructure.
- Hafslund CelsioNorway's largest district heating provider is retrofitting its Klemetsrud waste-to-energy plant to capture CO₂, which will be shipped from Oslo to the North Sea for permanent underground storage.
pathway 2
Direct Air Capture
Direct air capture (DAC) is the process of pulling CO₂ out of ambient air. It is a cyclical process in which a sorbent or solvent undergoes repeated cycles of CO₂ capture and release. The stream of CO₂ can then be coupled with geologic sequestration or mineralization for permanent carbon removal.
Approach
Portfolio companiesUses specialized machines with chemical processes to extract CO₂ directly from the atmosphere, then compresses and stores it permanently underground or in durable materials.
- 280 EarthUses waste heat and off-the-shelf components in a modular system to drive down carbon removal costs and provide co-benefits like cooling.
- PhlairLeverages a flexible, solar-optimized electrochemical process to capture and release CO₂ while minimizing capital costs through existing supply chains.
- HeirloomHarnesses low-cost limestone and passive air contact to capture CO₂ with a focus on scaling through capex efficiency and operational excellence.
- HoloceneCaptures CO₂ using low-cost organic liquids and crystallization, operating at low temperatures to maximize energy efficiency and flexibility.
pathway 3
Weathering & Mineralization
Enhanced Weathering and Mineralization (EW&M) are carbon removal processes that speed up the natural weathering of alkaline materials, releasing cations that capture and convert CO₂ into stable, durable compounds. These compounds can either be stored at the site of mineralization or carried by watersheds and rivers into the ocean.
Approach
Portfolio companiesAccelerates natural rock weathering by spreading crushed alkaline minerals on land or in oceans, where they react with CO₂ to form stable carbonate minerals.
- LithosSpreads crushed basalt on farmland to capture CO₂ through enhanced weathering, using quarry by-products and advanced soil sampling for precise measurement.
- CREWAccelerates mineral weathering inside wastewater treatment tanks, leveraging existing infrastructure and real-time sensors to scale low-cost carbon removal.
- TerradotApplies basalt on Brazilian farmland for CO₂ removal and soil restoration, using ideal climate conditions and government-backed incentives to drive adoption.
- AnvilMineralizes atmospheric CO₂ using reactive alkaline minerals in a low-energy system that produces solid carbonates for measurable, permanent storage.

how a reef comes back
From a broken fragment to a living reef
- 1
Find resilient corals
Teams collect fragments from ‘super corals’ that survived bleaching, or loose pieces that naturally broke off the healthy reef.
- 2
Grow and stabilise
Fragments grow for about a year in sheltered underwater nurseries. On rubble, steel hexagon frames coated in resin and sand hold the seabed still.
- 3
Outplant and fuse
Colonies are planted on degraded reef. Pieces of the same coral go side by side so they fuse back into one large, resilient colony.

Monitor every fragment
Divers log growth and health in the Reef App, while ReefOS sensors, cameras and AI track temperature and survival in real time.
