PATHWAYS

Robust, durable, transparent, and community-oriented


We are interested in carbon dioxide removal that ensures permanent storage and provides localized solutions to the problems at hand.

  • Durable CDR: Durable carbon dioxide removal ensures 100 - 1000+ years of storage. The duration of carbon storage substantially affects if net-zero emissions will be achieved along with desired warming limits.

  • Localized Solutions: Addressing climate change impacts begins at the community level. Our communities have seen the tangible impacts of climate change, but we can also provide tangible solutions. These tangible CDR solutions promote social, ecological, and environmental benefits. Let us help you build stronger, more engaged, and more resilient communities. We cannot continue to make climate change a distal problem for other communities to deal with.


Types of CDR we focus on

  • As silicate and carbonate bearing rock powders chemically weather, they convert carbon dioxide (CO₂) into bicarbonate (HCO₃⁻ ) a stable non-harmful form of carbon. These rock powders are also beneficial soil amendments. We utilize EW companies working with small stakeholder farmers to improve crop yields and crop resilience while sequestering carbon in the process. Contact us if you’re interested in learning more about these CDR credits or getting involved in a field application in your region.

  • Biochar is made from burning waste biomass in a low oxygen environment. The carbon that would have otherwise been released into the atmosphere as the biomass decomposed naturally is instead converted to biochar, thus permanently sequestering the carbon. Biochar is a charcoal-like substance that increases soil water and nutrient retention when applied. Contact us to learn how you can get involved in community supported biochar with your waste biomass from trail clearing or fire management practices.

  • The ocean is the Earth’s largest carbon sink. We can leverage this storage and undo some of the harm we have already caused to the aquatic ecosystem. OAE is the process of adding alkalinity to surface ocean chemistry which decreases ocean acidification and increases marine uptake of atmospheric CO₂. We are particularly interested in OAE from blue carbon restoration. Reach out to find out how you can support this CDR pathway.
