🚀 OPEN CALL 🚀 We’re thrilled to begin accepting applications for the third CEEZER Carbon Coalition accelerator program—until February 28th! If you’re an early-stage project developer with an innovative and scalable carbon removal solution, this program is for you. We believe growing the voluntary carbon market and scaling promising, early-stage developers is vital to accelerate global carbon removal efforts. The CEEZER Carbon Coalition supports start-ups in the VCM on their path to commercialization. Over the course of three months, we’ll tackle the big challenges faced by project developers, including increasing buyer awareness, understanding buyer needs, and navigating contracts, registries, inventory management, and carbon credit pricing. WHO: – Innovators in durable carbon removal – Early-stage project developers pursuing unique approaches or new project types – Proof of concept stage, ideally with operational pilot projects – Projects not yet issuing carbon credits but keen to be a key player in the carbon market ecosystem If this sounds like you—we want to hear from you!

We’re thrilled to announce that Captura has officially begun operations at our newest Direct Ocean Capture (DOC) pilot plant at NELHA's Hawai’i Ocean Science & Technology Park in Kona! Developed in partnership with Equinor, this facility is capable of capturing 1,000 tons of CO₂ annually and marks a significant step toward large-scale deployment of DOC technology. As the third and final pilot in our technology development program, this facility readies Captura’s technology for deployment in large, commercial systems worldwide. Initial design work is already underway for our first commercial facility, which is expected to capture tens of thousands of tons of CO₂ annually. Captura’s CEO Steve Oldham sums it up best: “Captura’s journey from lab-scale testing to our third technology demonstration in just three years is a testament to the scalability of our solution. This facility in Hawaii is the last milestone before we move to widespread commercial deployment of DOC technology. Its rapid installation and commissioning in just over two months demonstrates how our simple, modular design is ready to be scaled quickly to help address the urgent climate and energy challenge.” A huge shoutout to our amazing team and partners for their relentless efforts in making this project a reality!

We are delighted to share that ClimeFi has secured a robust portfolio of engineered carbon removal for the LEGO Group and KIRKBI A/S. The purchases form part of the company’s recent 19 million DKK commitment to building a diverse portfolio of carbon removal initiatives delivering in 2024-2026. ClimeFi facilitated three of the four carbon removal projects supported by the LEGO Group’s contribution, shining a light on our deep commitment to supporting companies in achieving their climate goals. The portfolio brings together solutions across two engineered removal pathways: biochar and enhanced rock weathering. We want to thank the LEGO Group and KIRKBI for their catalytic support and trust — and we look forward to continuing to work closely together going forward!

🌍 What an inspiring week in Davos at WEF 2025! At #WEF2025, the Carbon Business Council co-hosted events that brought together leaders from industry and sustainability to discuss climate action and the critical role of carbon removal in the race to net zero. 🤝 We worked to advance CDR demand at a buyers' dinner on Monday—thank you to everyone who joined us, including our co-hosts Carbonfuture, Climeworks, Mitsubishi Corporation, NextGen CDR, and XPRIZE. We also welcomed innovators across the CDR ecosystem at our community reception, made possible by the support of Elimini. 🏗️ These vital conversations and collaborations are paving the way for gigaton-scale carbon removal, positioning the industry as a cornerstone of a stronger economy and a sustainable future. We’re excited to carry forward the momentum from #WEF2025 in Davos with our network of innovators, policymakers, and business leaders. #CarbonRemoval #GigatonScale #Davos

We are happy to announce the launch of the “Beyond Emissions” initiative, doubling down on our commitment to enabling access to the BECCS market. Developed by ClimeFi, the initiative allows buyers to access permanent carbon removals from BECCS at a preferential price and with unique risk mitigation attributes. The initial opportunity under the initiative comes with Beccs Stockholm — Stockholm Exergi’s new BECCS facility. Earlier this week, the Swedish State pledged over 20 billion SEK to this ambitious project over the next 15 years, positioning Beccs Stockholm to become one of the world’s largest BECCS initiatives. The project is expected to capture over 800,000 tonnes of CO₂ annually at its bio-cogeneration plant in the Värtan area of Stockholm.
