Locking carbon where it belongs
About us
Introducing Alt Carbon - a climate action company on a mission to capture vast amounts of CO2 from our atmosphere. Our engineered removal technology securely locks away carbon immediately and permanently. With rigorous research, we ensure our methods are safe and accurately measure the carbon we remove, along with co-benefits to soil health. Partnering with local agricultural communities, we support and empower them through our work. By providing precise carbon credits, we assist companies in meeting net zero goals and individuals in making a difference. Our ambitious goal is to remove 5M MT of CO2 by 2030, with the ultimate aim of reaching a billion tons - for good.

We’re excited to announce that we are the first Indian-origin company to secure a $500K prepurchase from Frontier (backed by industry leaders like Stripe, Shopify, Alphabet Inc., Meta, and McKinsey & Company) for our high-quality carbon removal tons 🚀 This represents a significant development for climate finance to move to developing countries in South Asia through the Voluntary Carbon Market, making it a hub for carbon removal and will help us scale our Enhanced Rock Weathering technology to revive Darjeeling’s tea estates and generate high-quality, durable carbon removal tons & credits. Together with Frontier, we're not just transforming the tea industry but also pioneering a new era in carbon removal for a more sustainable future. Thanks to all our participating buyers for supporting the revival of the heritage tea estates in Darjeeling, thereby transforming the Indian tea industry from being severely at risk of climate change impact to truly becoming the frontier of climate action - Stripe Shopify Google Match (via Watershed) Nan Ransohoff Zeke Hausfather Neal Ulrich Joanna Klitzke Mitchel Selby Read more: https://lnkd.in/enPTzKvN

The Association of Responsible Deployers (ARD), chaired by Alt Carbon, is a collaborative body that brings together large tea estates like the Kamala Tea Estate and neighboring small farmer networks. With representation from management, labor unions, and industry observers like the Tea Research Association (TRA Tocklai) and Indian Tea Association, the ARD focuses on sharing learnings, coordinating deployment activities, and driving structural changes in land ownership and labor equity. This initiative is key to scaling carbon removal efforts across estates, helping resolve challenges, fostering collaboration and disseminating knowledge. #Sustainability #ClimateActionNow #ClimateChange #CarbonRemoval #CDR

At Alt Carbon, we’re committed to supporting the communities we work with. This year, we proudly sponsored a team from Bagdogra in the Damdim Gold Cup, a football tournament featuring 16 teams from across the region. Since Bagdogra is where we’re undertaking our current Enhanced Rock Weathering projects, we feel it is important to give back in a new and meaningful way. We’re glad to play a small role in helping nurture young sports talent in the region by providing some support and resources. Seeing the players take the field in Alt Carbon branded jerseys was a proud moment. We look forward to continuing this journey together and finding more ways to encourage local talent. #AltCarbon #CommunitySupport #Bagdogra #DamdimGoldCup #CarbonRemoval #YouthEmpowerment #SustainabilityInAction #ClimateAndCommunity #FootballForChange
