Today I am excited to announce the XPRIZE Carbon Removal Top 100 List! 🎉
After three years of competing and developing their #CDR solutions, several rounds of judging, and incredible accomplishments by Teams, the Top 100 represent the future of the carbon removal industry. Read about them all here: https://lnkd.in/gFQNfcmk
They are a diverse group from 🌎 25 countries and represent innovations across a wide range of CDR pathways:
💨 25 Air: direct air capture
🌊 21 Ocean: algae, kelp, direct seawater removal, and more
🌳 39 Land: trees, soil, plants, agriculture, biochar and more
⛰ 15 Rocks: mineralization, enhanced weathering, mine tailings, and more
#GettingtoGigatonne scale carbon removal will be an essential part of reaching our climate goals and will require the deployment of a whole new trillion-dollar industry. #XPRIZECarbonRemoval was launched in 2021 to catalyze the global supply of high-quality, cost-effective carbon dioxide removal (CDR) solutions. Since then, over 1,300 Teams from 88 countries have taken on the challenge and joined the competition.
Stay tuned for a new landscape report coming out May 1 analyzing the Top 100 submission data and the announcement of the 20 Finalists on May 8! 👀
