🌊 Permanent climate impact starts in the ocean. We’re thrilled that Terraset has committed a seven-figure catalytic pre-purchase to accelerate Sinkco Labs’ marine-based carbon-removal work—alongside fellow innovators like CarbonRun, Deep Sky, UNDO, Eion Carbon, NY Carbon, Pyrogen, and Terraton. This flexible capital arrives exactly when science-backed teams need it most: before multi-year offtakes, while we’re still proving hardware, hiring talent and scaling field operations. 🔬 What it unlocks for Sinkco Labs • Deploying our patent-pending micro-injection system that places biomass deep in anoxic marine sediments—converting waste into durable carbon storage and coastal uplift. • Expanding pilot sites to validate gigaton-scale potential and environmental safeguards. • Generating high-quality measurement, reporting & verification (MRV) data to set new durability standards for marine CDR. 🤝 Why catalytic philanthropy matters Terraset’s revolving-fund model recycles donor dollars into future removals, multiplying climate impact and closing the early-capital gap that still slows many breakthrough solutions. To Adam Fraser, Taylor Insley and the Terraset community—thank you for betting on durable, nature-aligned pathways. Together, we’re turning the ocean’s vast carbon engine into a cornerstone of the net-zero portfolio. #CarbonRemoval #MarineCDR #ClimateTech #CatalyticCapital #NetZero
We just deployed seven figures of new funding into some of the most promising carbon removal efforts out there. Through this purchase round, we’re backing a new cohort of innovators—CarbonRun, Deep Sky, Eion Carbon, NY Carbon, Pyrogen, Sinkco Labs, Terraton, and UNDO—while deepening support for our existing portfolio companies Andes, Charm Industrial, Climeworks, Graphyte and TerraFixing. These aren’t moonshots. They’re scalable, science-backed solutions tackling carbon removal through ocean alkalinity, enhanced weathering, biochar, bio-oil injection, and more. But this isn’t just about purchases. It’s about reimagining how capital flows into the sector. We’re deploying capital through four catalytic tools designed to unlock scale and flexibility: – Upfront pre-purchases, our proven model for getting capital to suppliers now – The Terraset Revolving Fund, recycling donor dollars into future removal rounds – Grassroots pilots, expanding biochar access in New York’s Hudson Valley with 4 Corners Carbon Coalition – Experimental purchases, testing approaches like methane abatement and refrigerant destruction with Tradewater Why does this matter? Because early-stage companies can’t wait for multi-year offtakes. They need capital today to build, hire, and validate their approach. That’s where catalytic philanthropy comes in. Thanks to support from our growing network of donors, Terraset is moving capital where it’s needed most. Together, we’re reinforcing a broader truth: carbon removal is core climate impact, and philanthropy has a strategic role to play in building it. More details in the blog. Link in comments.
Brilliant to see this kind of catalytic support flowing to ocean-based CDR. Congrats Sinkco Labs, excited to be in such strong company as we all work to scale durable, science-backed carbon removal 👏 🌊
