We’re offering each of the 20 carbon removal startups selected by AirMiners for its Kiloton Fund an added bonus: a $100k purchase from Shopify! The Kiloton Fund is a pilot for a new funding model for early-stage carbon removal companies. In exchange for upfront capital, investors share in a portion of a company’s future revenue rather than taking an equity stake. In an industry where some companies are struggling to access capital, and others want to maintain a greater control over their company, it’s a welcome experiment. So we’re putting Shopify’s support behind the program as a buyer. We’re doing this by offering each company a $100k purchase from Shopify, facilitated by AirMiners, to be paid out in 2030 upon successful delivery of credits. It’s a strong cohort of companies that includes direct air capture startups Sirona Technologies and Gaia Refinery, and ocean-based carbon removal companies Planeteers and Scape. We’re excited to provide each of them with another signal of commercial traction. Above all, we’re excited to see where AirMiners takes the program from here! See the comments for more info, including all selected teams.

The surprise early eliminations of Alcaraz and Świątek and two Americans almost going all the way made this US Open a memorable one 🎾 The 2024 US Open also marked the 17th year of the (USTA) United States Tennis Association's sustainability program 🌍 In 2019, the US Open became one of the first North American sports organisations to sign the UN Sports for Climate Action Framework ✍️ They are on a mission to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and create waves of climate action by mobilising industries and spectators 🌊 That includes partnering with organisations such as RecycleBalls that recycle tennis balls and recover their rubber to build tennis courts♻️ Read the article to explore how sports can be used to spread environmental education and inspire industries and spectators to take action 💪 #tennis #usopen #climateaction #climatechange #sports #sustainability #wavezero #copywriting #environment

Did you know that Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Salesforce have launched a groundbreaking initiative to reshape the voluntary carbon market? They have committed to purchasing 20 million tons of nature-based carbon removal credits by 2030 but do it their way. They formed Symbiosis Coalition to boost the whole carbon market and raise the quality of nature-based carbon credits offered. A problem I hear and work on solving daily. Here’s why Symbiosis matters: 🌍 Quality Over Quantity: It addresses long-standing issues like the credibility of carbon credits by enforcing stringent quality criteria (e.g., durability, additionality, and leakage risk). 💡 Innovation-Driven: By using dynamic baselines and tech-backed evaluations, it ensures real, measurable climate impact. 🌳 Nature-Centric: Symbiosis prioritizes projects that are nature-based, specifically afforestation, reforestation, and revegetation projects. Gives a hint on where in the market the “big dogs” see the most value. Why should you care? Their quality requirements can be your quality requirements as these are obviously made through careful consideration and understanding. The coalition isn’t just about carbon credits—it’s about setting new standards for transparency and integrity in the voluntary carbon market. This shift encourages high-quality projects, restoring ecosystems and helping companies like yours meet sustainability goals with confidence. 💬 What’s your take on nature-based carbon credits? #climateaction #carboncredits #sustainability

In the latest Carbon Brief newsletter, the team highlights a recent study from #NatureClimateChange that reminds us of the six components of feasibility that could inhibit the world’s ability to limit #warming to #1.5C, according to the IPCC's special report on 1.5C. They are: 1) #Geophysical: What global emission pathways could be consistent with conditions of a 1.5°C warmer world? What are the physical potentials for adaptation? 2) #Environmental-#ecological: What are the #ecosystemservices and resources, including #geological storage capacity and related rate of needed #landusechange, available to promote transformations, and to what extent are they compatible with enhanced #resilience? 3) #Technological: What #technologies are available to support transformation? 4) #Economic: What economic conditions could support transformation? 5) #Socio-#cultural: What conditions could support transformations in #behaviour and lifestyles? To what extent are the transformations socially acceptable and consistent with #equity? 6) #Institutional: What institutional conditions are in place to support transformations, including multi-level #governance, institutional capacity, and #political support? In the analysis, it is noted that "The future warming pathways used by the IPCC suggest that holding warming to 1.5C is unlikely, but still possible, when considering the technological feasibility and project-level economic costs of reaching net-zero emissions. However, the new study, published in Nature Climate Change, warns that adding in political and institutional constraints on mitigation make limiting warming to 1.5C even more challenging. As #GigacornHunters, remember that investing in technology is job 1, but we must also ensure appropriate advocacy is part of the toolkit if we are to help secure a 1.5C or lower decarbonized future. #climatechange #decarbonization #policy #IPCC #government #legislation #regulation #markets #investment

Summary: The article discusses the challenges faced by climate tech startups as they transition from the lab to commercial outfit. These companies, which work on hardware and infrastructure projects for climate solutions, struggle to raise necessary funds and often face difficulties in scaling up production. Key takeaways: The transition from early-stage startup to commercial operation is difficult, especially for hardware and infrastructure projects in the climate tech industry. The lack of financing options and specialized expertise for these types of projects creates a "commercial valley of death" that many companies struggle to overcome. Startups often fall into the trap of trying to expand their business too quickly, losing sight of their core value proposition and failing to ensure proper execution. Counter arguments: Some may argue that this "first of a kind" problem is not unique to the climate tech industry and can be seen in other industries as well. Others may argue that with the increasing focus on climate change and need for sustainable solutions, more funding and support will become available for these startups. #venturecapital #vc #startups
