Impact beyond removal

Our work doesn’t just remove greenhouse gases. It delivers social and environmental benefits.

Vaulted Deep locks away planet-warming carbon by injecting carbon-containing waste deep underground, leveraging technology from the oil industry.

We deliver impact in three ways.

Greenhouse gas removal

The obvious benefit: pulling harmful gases from the air to prevent catastrophic climate damage.

Market building

This market won’t exist without demand. We create on-ramps to channel philanthropic capital where it is needed most.

Ecosystem and community restoration

Projects deliver more than just the removal. They create jobs, protect biodiversity, and strengthen communities.

Andes is helping farms become carbon removal powerhouses, with microorganisms capturing CO₂ while crops grow.

Impact by the numbers.

Projects co-developed with Indigenous or local partners

Charm's pyrolyzer "Apatosaurus" converts corn stover into bio-oil, which is then injected deep underground, locking away carbon for thousands of years.

Early support with real-world impact.

Catalytic support bridges funding gaps, accelerates innovation, and derisks essential carbon removal solutions. The impact is tangible across cities, coastlines, and communities globally.

Tradewater finds and destroys potent greenhouse gases and plugs leaking methane wells, preventing millions of tons of climate pollution.

Know a project we should consider supporting?

“Terraset’s funding helped us expand our Carbon Program, now operating in 9 states across the US Midwest, and deepen the scientific foundation of our approach. As an early buyer, their support has strengthened our ability to scale and demonstrated market confidence in our approach.”

Gonzalo Fuenzalida, CEO and Co-FounderAndes

“Terraset’s catalytic support came at a critical time for us. Developing DAC in Africa is an uphill climb; from funding gaps to limited local understanding of the tech. Their purchase didn’t just fund our work; it signaled market confidence and helped open doors to new financing opportunities.”

Diana Maranga, Business Development LeadOctavia Carbon

“Terraset is the missing puzzle piece in the climate transition. Philanthropic capital is a huge lever in accelerating carbon removal, and Terraset is helping catalyze an early (and fragile!) carbon removal market.”

Kevin Niparko, Head of ProductCharm
