Earth911 Podcast: The Carbon Removal XPrize Winners
SHARE

The XPRIZE Carbon Removal competition has brought about groundbreaking innovation in the urgent challenge of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. With a $100 million prize pool and participation from 1,300 teams across 88 countries, the competition has spurred the development of solutions to meet global climate goals at a rapid pace.

One of the standout winners of the competition is Mati Carbon, a Kenya-based company that claimed the $50 million grand prize. Their innovative approach involves spreading finely ground volcanic rock on farmland, capturing atmospheric carbon while simultaneously improving soil health for local farmers in Kenya and India. This cost-effective solution not only addresses carbon removal but also provides additional benefits to farming communities.

In addition to Mati Carbon, three other runners-up—NetZero, Vaulted Deep, and UNDO—each received $5 million for their unique approaches to carbon removal. These solutions range from biochar production to underground carbon storage and large-scale mineral spreading.

The need for carbon removal solutions is more pressing than ever, with humans releasing 41.6 billion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere in 2024 alone. To combat the effects of climate change, carbon removal projects must scale up from operating at a kiloton level to removing millions of tons of carbon annually. The ultimate goal is to achieve net-negative emissions, reversing the damage caused by centuries of industrial activity.

You can also watch a documentary series about the competition and its winners on the XPRIZE Carbon Removal YouTube channel. In a world where innovative solutions are crucial to addressing climate change, the XPRIZE Carbon Removal competition stands out as a beacon of hope for a more sustainable future.
