Today, alongside Google, we’re sharing details on our first-of-its-kind, record-setting direct air capture purchase agreement ($100 per tonne) Beyond the numbers and cents, this agreement represents a nearly decade-long, bi-lateral commitment between two organizations committed to raising the global ambition for the future of the direct air capture industry. This agreement to deliver 100,000 carbon removal credits by the early 2030s is Google’s first bi-lateral, carbon removal purchase agreement -- adding to their already pioneering work with Frontier Climate. It is also the first DAC offtake agreement on record at this scale for $100 per tonne – the industry’s long-term ambition. We are beyond thrilled to walk this path alongside the team at Google.

First time for me at a Carbon Unbound event! I'll be covering Holocene's recent achievements, what it's like to build a direct air capture company in Tennessee, and how organic chemistry can unlock new ways of thinking about DAC. The summit will bring together ~ 500 CDR leaders and experts?with the focus on achieving a collective mission: one gigaton of?carbon?removed from Earth's atmosphere. More at https://lnkd.in/eisSVeE8

Carbon removal is a net-new industry (let that soak in...). For new industries, education is especially critical to bring everyone along, scientist or not! ?? Check out our new educational content on our website, explaining earth's carbon cycle & the need for carbon removal, alongside decarbonization! ??

Public-private partnerships have, and will continue to, drive forward the energy and industrial transitions. Thanks to the Howard H. Baker Jr. School of Public Policy and Public Affairs for hosting our Co-founder & CEO Anca Timofte on a panel for this important regional dialogue.

While we're not in the movie business, we're honored to be awarded a 2024 R&D 100 award... colloquially known as the "Oscars of Innovation" ?? Alongside researchers Costas Tsouris, Radu Custelcean, Abishek Kasturi, Ph.D., and more... Holocene's approach to direct air capture (DAC) has been recognized by R&D - Research & Development World for the second time since 2021. The R&D 100 Awards honor science and technology resarch and development leading to commercial products, technologies, and materials available for sale or license and have done so over the past 60 years. ORNL Director Stephen Streiffer said "The R&D 100 Awards showcase the far-reaching and impactful work they do to address national challenges through science and technology.” We agree, Stephen!
