### **What**

All contributions are used to purchase permanent carbon removal from promising early-stage technologies that are working to deliver over the next few years. Your commitment helps those technologies move of the lab and into the field. 

### **Where the Contributions Go**

- Projects: 65
- Countries: 15
- Types of projects funded:  
  
**Direct air capture (25%)** is the process of separating CO₂ out of ambient air via cycling a sorbent or solvent repeatedly through capture and release. The resulting CO₂ stream can then be paired with any type of permanent storage.  
  
**Marine carbon removal (25%)** includes a range of approaches that involve the ocean to remove CO₂ from the atmosphere.  
  
**Biomass carbon removal and storage (20%)** processes permanently store CO₂ from waste biomass, which naturally capture CO₂ from the atmosphere via photosynthesis. Examples include pyrolysis, gasification, and biomass burial.  
  
**Mineralization (16%)** is the reaction of alkaline minerals, CO₂, and water to form solid carbonate minerals, which present a durable carbon storage.  
  
**Field weathering (14%)** speeds up the natural weathering of alkaline materials with CO₂ and rainwater. The resulting reaction leads to the durable storage of CO₂ as bicarbonate.
