44.01

Oman-based Earthshot Prize Winner @4401earth is permanently removing carbon by locking it away in rock.

It’s been a busy few months at 44.01. Today, we’re proud to share the results! We’ve scaled up the site that hosted XPRIZE-winning Project Hajar in Fujairah and have started injecting CO₂ through our upgraded system. It’s designed for the next stage of mineralisation: larger injection-system capacity, greater CO₂ supplier flexibility and a modular platform built for rapid deployment. Another major milestone toward offering permanent CO₂ storage solutions globally. Thank you to @fnrcfujairah and Fujairah Environment Authority for their partnership in this progress.

We are proud to announce our partnership with Holcim Emirates Cement to launch a new carbon capture and mineralisation project aimed at supporting the decarbonisation of cement production. Hosted in Fujairah, UAE, this pilot will capture CO₂ directly from cement production and permanently store it underground as rock through our natural mineralisation process, making carbon removal safe, permanent, and scalable. Supported by Fujairah Natural Resources Corporation and NT Energies, this collaboration represents a major milestone in industrial decarbonisation, proving that cement “one of the world’s hardest-to-abate sectors” can play a leading role in permanent CO₂ removal. #CarbonRemoval #CarbonMineralisation #ClimateTech #NetZero #SustainableIndustry #Holcim #FNRC #NTEnergies

A few highlights from ADIPEC last week 🌍 Our CEO, Talal Hasan, joined a panel hosted by the Global CCS Institute together with @Climeworks & @1PointFive_ to discuss the growing potential of Direct Air Carbon Capture across the Middle East and Africa. We were also pleased to co-exhibit within @SumitomoCorpor1 booth, showcasing how 44.01’s carbon mineralisation technology supports global decarbonisation efforts. #adipec2025

New funding for our 2022 Fix Our Climate Winner, 44.01, sees them expand to Europe.

How can CDR companies rapidly scale up while also reducing costs? BCG found five consistent levers when looking at the carbon removal XPRIZE finalists: Lots of scaling, modularity and process optimisation/automation along with some tech development and revenues beyond carbon credits. Full report below, if you want to know more. #CarbonRemoval #CarbonMineralisation #XPRIZE

Big news!   We’re expanding into Europe, a major step in our mission to scale safe and permanent CO2 storage globally.   We’re thrilled to welcome kari-Lise Rørvik, our new Country Manager in Norway, leading 44.01’s work across the Nordics and northern Europe, a region with a long history of pioneering climate and energy innovation, making it a natural home for our next phase of growth.   Kari-Lise will work together with our advisor Sverre Overå and our local investors @Equinor Ventures and Nysnø Climate Investments.

We’re delighted to share that Project Hajar has been awarded a $1M #XFACTOR award by @xprize Carbon Removal. After a four-year competition, Project Hajar was named the strongest performer in the Air category. The XPRIZE judges felt the project represents a compelling example of a sustainable, high-quality, scalable carbon removal solution, capable of reaching gigatonne scale. Our collaboration with @capture_air has shown that permanent and safe carbon removal is not just a possibility – it is happening now. Our challenge from here is to scale up to make a real impact in protecting our climate. Thank you to XPRIZE for the recognition and congratulations to all the finalists pushing the boundaries of carbon removal. #XFACTOR #XPRIZE

44.01 has received an additional $5m in Series A investment from Norwegian sovereign investor Nysnø Climate Investments and Jasoor Ventures, bringing the total Series A fundraise to $42m. We’re delighted to welcome Nysnø and Jasoor to 44.01, and we look forward to working with them to refine our technology and scale it internationally. Find out more here: lnkd.in/d_JMw93n

44.01 has been named to @cleantechgroup's Global Cleantech 100 list for 2025! The Cleantech 100 highlights the most promising private companies in the cleantech industry. We’re delighted to have been recognised alongside other leading innovators.

Find out more about how we're turning CO2 into rock in Fujairah, UAE, with @ADNOCGroup

Last week, @xprize visited the UAE to see us capturing CO2 and turning it into rock in the mountains of Fujairah. Our Direct Air Capture + Mineralisation project with @capture_air was named one of #XPRIZECarbonRemoval's Top 20 finalists earlier this year, and we were delighted to show the XPRIZE team our technology in action.

44.01 and @ADNOCGroup today announced plans to scale up #mineralisation in the UAE, following the success of our initial pilot. As an immediate next step, we are scaling up to inject more than 300 tonnes of CO2 into the peridotites of Fujairah. Thank you to our partners, ADNOC, FNRC and @Masdar. We look forward to working with you to demonstrate the commercial viability of mineralisation in the UAE. Find out more: 4401.earth/blog/44-01-and…

Congratulations to this year's @EarthshotPrize finalists!

We are delighted to announce our $37m Series A Fundraise. Our investors include climate leaders, geological carbon storage experts and global technology developers. This funding will enable us to continue refining our process, expand internationally, and build commercial projects. We believe mineralisation can play a significant role in helping protect and repair our climate. Thank you to all our investors for committing to our mission.

Introducing 44.01’s new brand! As we move from pilot to commercial-scale we wanted a new look to reflect our focus on developing safe, affordable mineralisation technology that can be deployed internationally. We hope you’ll see our new logo at a mineralisation site near you in the coming years.

Thank you @KensingtonRoyal for a wonderful end to London Climate Action Week #LCAW #EarthshotPrize

44.01 is coming to London Climate Action Week! We’ll be at a range of events including with @EarthshotPrize and @Breakthrough. Looking forward to meeting up with partners, old and new. We've also been wondering if it might be about time for a new look... #LCAW2024
