Future Energy Ventures Climate Contribution

InPlanet operates in Brazil as the first Enhanced Rock Weathering startup solely focused on the tropics. They spread silicate rock powder under ideal soil and climate conditions, promoting rapid weathering and carbon capture. The carbon is stored in soil leachates, waterways, and ocean sediments. Key co-benefits include the restoration of degraded soils, improved food nutrition, and reduced reliance on conventional chemical inputs in agriculture. InPlanet conducts rigorous measurements, from laboratory to field, to assess the net carbon removal effectiveness of rock spreading in various agricultural contexts.

Industrious Labs is an organisation dedicated to decarbonising heavy industry, with a specific focus on the aluminium, cement, steel and waste sectors. Their global cement campaign is centred around advocating for a shift from carbon-intensive Portland cement to existing, low-carbon technologies that can significantly reduce emissions in this sector. Whereas, their aluminium campaign aims to decarbonise the U.S. primary aluminium industry, leading to a substantial reduction in its CO₂ footprint. Industrious Labs prioritises four interconnected approaches to reducing emissions: advocacy campaigns, data and analysis, movement building, and strategic communications.

Plant With Purpose is a non-profit organisation that works with rural communities, implementing initiatives related to nature restoration and regenerative agricultural practices along watersheds, to improve crop yields, to bolster food sovereignty, and to improve water quality and access. They do it while empowering communities to find a path to self-sufficiency and resilience through so-called community Purpose Groups.
