One of the big things holding us back from building a lithium industry in our own backyard has been, well, that it would wreck the backyard. The team Lilac has the fix. Now they've got a fresh $145m to produce lithium as American as apple pie. lowercarboncapital.com/2024/02/14/lit…

High-purity American lithium, coming to a battery near you. Lilac, our clean lithium company, is using their $145M Series C to put meat on the bones of EV targets everywhere. Dig in👇 lowercarboncapital.com/2024/02/14/lit…

We won’t fix the climate from a cushy office. Just ask Seabound founders Alisha Fredriksson and Roujia Wen. They spent months at sea to prove out their world-first carbon capture for ships. Dive into their game-changing tech and life-changing adventure here lowercarboncapital.com/2024/03/06/don…

Drivers need better EV batteries, and they just got them. Battery wizards Breathe Battery Technologies’s new software dramatically cuts charge time. With just a download. It’s no surprise Volvo is putting it in their next-gen EVs, creating some serious competitor FOMO.

Our portfolio company Sublime Systems makes industry-standard cement without the industry-standard emissions. Now, with a monster $87m DOE grant, they’re getting pretty darn close to doing it at commercial scale. lowercarboncapital.com/2024/04/30/lay…

📢 Frontier has facilitated $58.3M in CDR offtakes w/ Vaulted Deep 📢 They’ll deliver 152,480 tons of CDR by 2027, including ~18.3K by the end of this year! 🏎️ frontierclimate.com/writing/vaulted

Congrats to @jreichelstein Omar and the whole team Vaulted Deep. Nine months from incorporation to (Frontier's biggest) carbon removal offtake is definitely a new record!

Now buildings can reach the sky without polluting it. Our portfolio company Sublime Systems is ramping up production of their zero-carbon cement to commercial scale, with a fresh $87m DOE grant. lowercarboncapital.com/2024/04/30/lay…

Thanks for highlighting Ark Biotech, Sen Fetterman! It's great to see you helping your constituents envision a future where meat production is as clean and cruelty free as brewing beer, instead of looking like a slaughterhouse floor. 🇺🇸🥩

We're thrilled that Vaulted Deep was selected as one of 20 finalists from 1000 applicants for the $100M #xprizecarbonremoval. It underscores the mature + proven nature of our solution, along with our numerous environmental benefits beyond decarbonization. canarymedia.com/articles/carbo…

What if you built a rocket engine fueled by biomass, to generate electricity, water, and remove CO2 from the atmosphere? Arbor Energy is doing just that in Episode 51 of S³

I didn't expect this either but it turns out the secrets to building the cheapest cleanest baseload power plant were hidden in fucking rocket science

"Arbor is the first to bring forward a technology that can provide clean baseload energy in a very compact form," Clea Kolster tells katie brigham of Arbor Energy. Read more about the new startup using rocket science to make carbon-negative energy: heatmap.news/technology/arb…

we have already "just refactored the atmosphere". it's wrong to assume we can't do it again with better results. i have written a piece about why techno-centrism and techno-optimism are the only way to be successful in unfucking the planet and preserving human life; stay tuned

At Stand, we build models to understand and mitigate climate risk. Our work depends on an ecosystem of publicly available environmental data, now subject to risk of federal funding cuts. To protect that data and support climate research, we are introducing a Climate Data Commons.
