Kieger's Climate Action

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.

Opportunity Green is working to end the exemption of international flights from the EU Emissions Trading System, which leaves more than 80 MtCO₂ unregulated each year. Through legal interventions, policy briefs, and alliances with innovative aviation companies, the initiative builds the case that including long-haul aviation is essential for EU climate integrity and competitiveness. The strategy also leverages Ireland’s upcoming EU Council Presidency and support from climate vulnerable countries to secure reform. Bringing international aviation into the ETS would close a major gap in EU climate policy and generate significant revenues for climate action.

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.
