Frontier buyers signed a $44M offtake with NULIFE!
Their process converts biowaste into CO₂‑rich bio‑oil for permanent underground storage — turning a headache for plant managers into measurable carbon removal.

Frontier buyers signed a $41M CDR offtake with Reverion!
Their solid‑oxide fuel cells plug into on‑farm digesters, convert biogas to electricity while capturing carbon from methane + CO₂
The approach could remove hundreds of millions of tons by 2040.

Hafslund Celsio is building the world's first carbon removal retrofit at a waste-to-energy facility, enabled by a $30M offtake with Frontier buyers. Writ large, this approach could remove 400 million tons of CO2 per year by 2050. frontierclimate.com/writing/…
Hafslund Celsio’s facility processes 350,000 tons of waste annually, incinerating it to produce energy, which generates biogenic and fossil CO₂ emissions.
With a new retrofit, Hafslund Celsio estimates that it could capture up to 175,000 tons of biogenic CO2 emissions per year.
CO280 retrofits pulp and paper mills with capture units to extract the biogenic CO₂, which is then sent to geologic storage.
📣Frontier facilitated offtake agreements with CO280 and CREW, two companies integrating carbon removal into existing industrial processes!
Both companies offer a model for how startups can partner with large industrial players to scale carbon removal.

This thread is really insightful. @mikeschmitz is a fount of wisdom when it comes to being intentional about one’s work, to maximize the value of what you create without burning out.
Bending the DAC cost curve is one of our biggest levers in scaling carbon removal.
So we’re very excited about Frontier’s latest $40M offtake with @280earth, a company taking a creative approach to reducing the cost of DAC.
More here: frontierclimate.com//writing…
280 Earth is tackling this w/ an approach that:
🔄Reduces energy use w/ a continuous capture system
🔥Can be powered by heat from data centers (or electricity)
🧩Is modular + built from commercially-available parts
🤝Benefits from a strong team + external partnerships

This is really exciting to see--@RepAir_Carbone deploying their first DAC prototype in the field! RepAir is going to learn so much from this system and it's going to help them make the next leap that much faster.
Exciting News Alert! 🌍 RepAir takes the spotlight in the Carbon Herald! Check out this exclusive feature highlighting the exciting launch of our Direct Air Capture (DAC) field prototype, demonstrating sustainable carbon removal at the gigaton scale. carbonherald.com/repair-unve…
Heirloom and CarbonCapture’s distinct approaches are proof that there are many flavors to direct air capture (DAC), each involving tough design decisions!
The one common feature across all promising DAC companies: steep cost curves and fast iteration speeds.
For DAC to reach climate-relevant scale, cost needs to fall dramatically.
Today, we’re announcing that Frontier buyers signed $47M in offtake agreements with @CarbonCaptureUS and @heirloomcarbon, two companies charting a path to affordable DAC.

Re-upping this from last week. I've looked at a lot of CDR ideas previously at ARPA-E and now at Frontier, and I have to emphasize just how exciting these companies are. It's so heartening to see good, new ideas continue to roll in--bodes well for the overall direction of CDR.
Meet the latest round of companies who are joining Frontier’s portfolio!
Together, @stripe, @Shopify and @hm group are buying $7M of carbon removal.

Thank you for nine years of googling and laughing with me. Most of my accounts are now suspended. This account is ending intentionally so you can still scroll back and see the old tweets.
