Lowercarbon Capital backs kickass companies that make real money slashing CO₂ emissions, sucking carbon out of the sky, and buying us time to unf**k the planet.

Fixing the planet is just good business. Shame and guilt won’t get us there, markets will.

Exhibit A: 

Making chemicals with enzymes, not oil.

Solugen

Fusion with plasma-taming magnets.

Commonwealth Fusion

Beef that never had eyes nor hooves.

Mosa Meat

Kelp-farming carbon-sinking robots.

Running Tide

Fully electric airplanes.

Heart Aerospace

Clean, fast, cheap lithium mining.

Lilac

Batteries that make solar work 24/7.

Antora

Cheap zero-carbon cement.

Sublime Systems

Click for even more of this madness

You can’t get to better, faster, cheaper by continuing to burn old dinosaur bones.

Our companies combine hard science with some bonkers ambition to tackle three things:

Slashing new CO₂.

Until new emissions hit zero, temperatures will keep going up. So we are funding technologies that reduce sources of carbon dioxide, methane, and other greenhouse gases. From energy and transportation, to industrial materials and agriculture, we’re on it.

Sucking up carbon.

We have to figure out how to hit Ctrl+Z on decades worth of carbon pollution. Even if we zeroed out emissions overnight, there is already enough CO₂ swirling around the atmosphere to cause irreparable damage to life on Earth. Give or take, we’ll need to suck at least a trillion tons of CO₂ out of the sky between now and 2100. In progress.

Buying more time.

These temps, fires, droughts, and storms are no accident and will only get worse. Crossing fingers we can remove carbon fast enough. But in case huge breakthroughs don’t come together in time, we’re looking at ways to cool the planet to buy more time for the people, plants, and animals on the front lines.
