Carbon reductions alone are not enough to address the impacts of climate change. To rebalance earth’s carbon cycle, we need to support and incentivize technologies that remove carbon from the atmosphere.
Navigating the emerging carbon dioxide removal (CDR) space can be overwhelming. Industry-leading experts, the Climate Vault Tech Chamber, led by former US Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz, cut through the complexity for you.
We curate a portfolio of only the highest quality, vetted CDR projects customized to support your unique climate goals. Discover our curated portfolio of high-quality, vetted carbon removal projects that are tailored to your unique climate goals. With only 3% of CDR projects meeting our rigorous selection criteria, you can trust that you’re choosing from only the best.
There are 6 key criteria within our risk reduction framework, ensuring only the most promising, innovative, and scalable Carbon Dioxide Removal projects are admitted into our portfolio.
The novelty of the technology and business model
The likelihood that the project can deliver the expected tonnes of carbon removal in a quantifiable manner within the proposed time frame
The extent to which a Climate Vault grant award will enable more carbon to be removed from the atmosphere than would have otherwise been possible without the grant award
The extent to which the project enables durable carbon storage of at least 50 years
The extent to which the project also advances environmental and social objectives
The extent to which the project activities cause additional emissions to occur elsewhere
