Investment thesis

Carbon Removal Partners invests in companies working to reverse climate change through carbon removal technologies. The firm partners with ambitious entrepreneurs at the formative stage of their companies, aiming to help transform them into global winners. Its approach is guided by three principles: a foundation in scientific methods and progress, support for companies with a very long-term vision, and a focus on technology companies with a clear path to industrial-scale carbon removal. The firm views acting on carbon removal as a trillion-dollar opportunity and works with corporates, entrepreneurs, and investors across the carbon removal ecosystem.
