Does your Series B pitch scream “fund me” or “forget me”? Lowercarbon growth-stage investing ace @caiekelley breaks down the 3 must-haves — and a few must-not-haves — for a winning pitch 👇 lowercarboncapital.com/2024/11/12/bri…

we have already "just refactored the atmosphere". it's wrong to assume we can't do it again with better results. i have written a piece about why techno-centrism and techno-optimism are the only way to be successful in unfucking the planet and preserving human life; stay tuned

You can’t just refactor the atmosphere if you screw it up. Not sure I care at all what smart people in tech have to say about it. Would much rather listen to smart people in atmospheric science.

"Arbor is the first to bring forward a technology that can provide clean baseload energy in a very compact form," @cleakolster tells @katie_brigham of Arbor Energy. Read more about the new startup using rocket science to make carbon-negative energy: heatmap.news/technology/arb…

I didn't expect this either but it turns out the secrets to building the cheapest cleanest baseload power plant were hidden in fucking rocket science

What if you built a rocket engine fueled by biomass, to generate electricity, water, and remove CO2 from the atmosphere? Arbor Energy is doing just that in Episode 51 of S³

We're thrilled that @VaultedDeep was selected as one of 20 finalists from 1000 applicants for the $100M #xprizecarbonremoval. It underscores the mature + proven nature of our solution, along with our numerous environmental benefits beyond decarbonization. canarymedia.com/articles/carbo…

Thanks for highlighting @ArkBiotech, Sen Fetterman! It's great to see you helping your constituents envision a future where meat production is as clean and cruelty free as brewing beer, instead of looking like a slaughterhouse floor. 🇺🇸🥩

btw, this is the thing that makes lab meat

Now buildings can reach the sky without polluting it. Our portfolio company @SublimeSystems is ramping up production of their zero-carbon cement to commercial scale, with a fresh $87m DOE grant. lowercarboncapital.com/2024/04/30/lay…

Congrats to @jreichelstein @mollamar and the whole team @VaultedDeep Nine months from incorporation to (Frontier's biggest) carbon removal offtake is definitely a new record!

📢 Frontier has facilitated $58.3M in CDR offtakes w/ @VaultedDeep 📢 They’ll deliver 152,480 tons of CDR by 2027, including ~18.3K by the end of this year! 🏎️ frontierclimate.com/writing/vaulted

Our portfolio company @SublimeSystems makes industry-standard cement without the industry-standard emissions. Now, with a monster $87m DOE grant, they’re getting pretty darn close to doing it at commercial scale. lowercarboncapital.com/2024/04/30/lay…

Over $6b has been invested in fusion companies worldwide. Phil Larochelle @Breakthrough, @michteod @eni, @cleakolster @lowercarboncapital, Charles Boakye @Jefferies, and Megan Wilson @GeneralFusion break down the investment status and what should come next for the industry.

Drivers need better EV batteries, and they just got them. Battery wizards @BreatheBT’s new software dramatically cuts charge time. With just a download. It’s no surprise Volvo is putting it in their next-gen EVs, creating some serious competitor FOMO.

We’re delighted to announce our partnership with @volvocars, which will see us provide our adaptive charging software for use on its new generation fully electric cars. It also represents the latest investment by the Volvo Cars Tech Fund. Read more: eu1.hubs.ly/H08207Z0

We won’t fix the climate from a cushy office. Just ask Seabound founders @lishafred and Roujia Wen. They spent months at sea to prove out their world-first carbon capture for ships. Dive into their game-changing tech and life-changing adventure here lowercarboncapital.com/2024/03/06/don…

High-purity American lithium, coming to a battery near you. @Lilac_Solutions, our clean lithium company, is using their $145M Series C to put meat on the bones of EV targets everywhere. Dig in👇 lowercarboncapital.com/2024/02/14/lit…

One of the big things holding us back from building a lithium industry in our own backyard has been, well, that it would wreck the backyard. The team @Lilac_Solutions has the fix. Now they've got a fresh $145m to produce lithium as American as apple pie. lowercarboncapital.com/2024/02/14/lit…

Lithium as American as baseball and apple pie? Yep, our clean lithium company @Lilac_Solutions is making it happen. Now, with $145M in fresh capital, they’re doubling down on a US lithium supply chain. lowercarboncapital.com/2024/02/14/lit…
