Terradot

Big changes are made by those willing to make big bets. Google has made one of the biggest bets in the ERW space. Thank you Randy Spock, Reilly O'Hara, Emily Ma and the entire Google team for your vision to advance the science and scale the potential of Enhanced Rock Weathering as a global climate solution. This collaboration, born out of the Frontier coalition, is a significant step in that mission, and a testament to the way that Frontier’s AMC is paving the way for the wider market. Check out Google’s blog to learn more about our partnership and the important work ahead! https://lnkd.in/grVPg65J

Before a market exists, someone has to go first. We’re thrilled to have Frontier as our first large-scale carbon removal buyer with a $27 million dollar purchase, helping us take critical steps toward near-term, high-integrity, and affordable carbon removal. This collaboration is validating the science behind Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) and accelerating its deployment to remove 90,000 tons of CO₂ by 2029 in Brazil—one of the most promising regions for ERW. Thank you, Frontier, for believing in us and leading the way. Together, we’re proving what’s possible. Check out Frontier’s blog to learn more about our partnership! 🌍 Frontier has facilitated purchases on behalf of Frontier founding members Stripe, Google, Shopify, and McKinsey & Company Sustainability as well as Autodesk, H&M Group, Workday, and Salesforce. Also, Aledade Inc, Canva, Match Group, Samsara, SKIMS, Skyscanner, WISE, and Zendesk have purchased via Watershed's partnership with Frontier Judy Savitskaya, Jane Flegal, Zeke Hausfather, Joanna Klitzke, Hannah Bebbington, Nan Ransohoff, Andrew Shea, Florian Maganza, Molly Niffenegger #CarbonRemoval #EnhancedRockWeathering #ClimateTech #CDR #Frontier #Terradot

Today, we’re excited to officially launch Terradot with $58.2M in funding! We’re transforming Earth’s most powerful natural carbon removal process—silicate rock weathering—into a scalable climate solution through Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW). 🌍 Why we’re excited: $58.2M in funding led by John Doerr, joined by Sheryl Sandberg & Tom Bernthal, George Roberts, Microsoft's Climate Innovation Fund, Google, Cisco Foundation, Kleiner Perkins, Floodgate, Acre Venture Partners, Gigascale Capital, Valor Capital Group, Ponderosa Ventures and others. Nearly 300,000 tonnes of carbon removal sold, including a $27M purchase by Stripe's Frontier Climate buyers for 90,000 tonnes and Frontier member Google’s largest-ever single CDR purchase—200,000 tonnes. Starting in Brazil, an optimal location thanks to its tropical climate, agricultural scale, and clean energy grid. We believe ERW has the greatest potential to deliver gigaton-scale, permanent carbon removal this decade. But achieving that potential will be far harder than most realize. That’s why we built Terradot: to advance the hard science and build the technology required to activate the thousands of existing silicate rock quarries worldwide into scalable CDR hubs. Backed by the world’s strongest coalition—spanning industry, academia, and government—we’re taking a bold bet on unlocking ERW’s massive potential. The road ahead won’t be easy: millions of soil samples, snake-filled fields, and no guarantees of success await. The stakes couldn’t be higher. 🚀 This is just the beginning. If you’re a scientist pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, an engineer ready to build, or an operator obsessed with execution—come join us. Let’s work together to stabilize Earth’s climate. 🔗 Join Us: https://lnkd.in/gm-7gCEf 🔗 Google’s Blog Post: https://lnkd.in/grVPg65J 🔗 Frontier’s Blog Post: https://lnkd.in/gG--y6xn 🔗 Bloomberg: https://lnkd.in/gHBMqsb2 🔗 Brazil Coverage: https://lnkd.in/gjBQS6rQ #ClimateTech #CarbonRemoval #EnhancedRockWeathering #Terradot #ClimateSolutions #CDR

Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending Stanford's Scaling Sustainability Innovation, an event hosted by the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability and Stanford University Graduate School of Business. The event showcased the brilliance of numerous talents who are leveraging cutting-edge technologies to combat the climate crisis. Here are some of the remarkable start-ups that presented their innovative solutions: C-Zero - Produces hydrogen from natural gas, with solid carbon as a byproduct - I just loved this idea! It seems perfect for O&G companies! Fourier - Makes modular electrolyzers that scale H2 generation to any size Jinetics Inc. - Generators that supply 80% more energy and 50% less carbon using a coupled fuel cell Vaulted Deep - Geologic sequestration of organic waste for permanent carbon removal Ebb Carbon - Removes CO2 from the air by increasing alkalinity of sea water Blue Planet - Does CO2 sequestration from any source through mineralization and turns it into building materials Boomitra - Uses AI and satellite images to assess soil carbon credits across the globe Working Trees - Promotes agroforestry as a nature-based solution by connecting companies to farmers and by supplying an app that makes monitoring the trees much cheaper for reporting purposes Circularity Fuels - makes fuels from CO2 air + renewable energy Terradot - removes carbon from the air using enhanced rock weathering Congratulations to all the entrepreneurs and Stanford University for promoting this event!

Earlier this month, our co-founder Sasankh Munukutla had the incredible opportunity to represent Terradot and be part of the Singapore Delegation at #COP28. Sasankh has brought back with him excitement about the energy surrounding the Food and Agriculture commitments at COP28, as well as more insights into what, exactly, we can expect as an outcome of the conference. Adding to our growing list of #whattowatch in the new year with regards to earth regeneration and regenerative agriculture, Sasankh adds: 🌍 The FAO Global Roadmap to both limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees C (2.7 degrees F) and to end hunger in line with UN Sustainable Development Goal No. 2. 🌏 Food appearances in the Global Stocktake and Global Goal on Adaptation 🌎 The Alliance of Champions for Food Systems Transformation - an important coalition led by Brazil, Cambodia, Norway, Rwanda, and Sierra Leone 🌍 The COP28 UAE Declaration and Non-State Actor Call to Action: complementary commitments by Heads of State and a diverse coalition of farmers and frontline food system actors to transform food and agricultural systems into a climate solution. We are proud and grateful to have our mission represented on the global stage. Sasankh, congratulations on your achievements, and let’s keep pushing to #regenerate Earth! #EarthRegeneration #regenerativeagriculture #soilhealth #soilscience #climateresilience https://lnkd.in/e44Q4ySd https://lnkd.in/d5ZuWHtw https://lnkd.in/ekarQhWn
