Frontier buyers signed a $44M offtake with NULIFE! Their process converts biowaste into CO₂‑rich bio‑oil for permanent underground storage — turning a headache for plant managers into measurable carbon removal. frontierclimate.com/writing/nulife

Frontier buyers signed a $41M CDR offtake with Reverion! Their solid‑oxide fuel cells plug into on‑farm digesters, convert biogas to electricity while capturing carbon from methane + CO₂ The approach could remove hundreds of millions of tons by 2040. frontierclimate.com/writing/reveri…

This project is a good example of how the private and public sectors can enable carbon removal together: the Norwegian government's Longship program supports CO2 capture and storage, the City of Oslo provides financial investment, and Frontier buyers guarantee revenue.

Hafslund Celsio’s facility processes 350,000 tons of waste annually, incinerating it to produce energy, which generates biogenic and fossil CO₂ emissions. With a new retrofit, Hafslund Celsio estimates that it could capture up to 175,000 tons of biogenic CO2 emissions per year.

Hafslund Celsio is building the world's first carbon removal retrofit at a waste-to-energy facility, enabled by a $30M offtake with Frontier buyers. Writ large, this approach could remove 400 million tons of CO2 per year by 2050. frontierclimate.com/writing/hafslu…

CREW adds alkaline minerals to wastewater treatment plants, converting CO₂ into bicarbonate which is then stored in the ocean.

CO280 retrofits pulp and paper mills with capture units to extract the biogenic CO₂, which is then sent to geologic storage.

📣Frontier facilitated offtake agreements with CO280 and CREW, two companies integrating carbon removal into existing industrial processes! Both companies offer a model for how startups can partner with large industrial players to scale carbon removal. frontierclimate.com/writing/co280-…

This thread is really insightful. @_MikeSchmitz is a fount of wisdom when it comes to being intentional about one’s work, to maximize the value of what you create without burning out.

Even cooler (literally)—the system can reduce the amount of cooling water needed by data centers. As AI increases data processing demand, this could be crucial. 280 Earth estimates a 60 MW data center with a 50 ktpa DAC system could save >200k tons of water/year.

280 Earth is tackling this w/ an approach that: 🔄Reduces energy use w/ a continuous capture system 🔥Can be powered by heat from data centers (or electricity) 🧩Is modular + built from commercially-available parts 🤝Benefits from a strong team + external partnerships

Bending the DAC cost curve is one of our biggest levers in scaling carbon removal. So we’re very excited about Frontier’s latest $40M offtake with @280earth, a company taking a creative approach to reducing the cost of DAC. More here: frontierclimate.com//writing/280-e…

@sports_by_stats Butel replacement?

Fullbacks*, but I see her as a CB for us.

Holy shit, LFG! nytimes.com/athletic/55215…

ICYMI: Frontier's 2024 carbon removal prepurchase cycle is now open, with pre-apps due May 28. If you or anyone in your network is interested, please check it out! frontierclimate.com/apply

@AndreasenJack @NCState I was there from 1997-2002 and never saw anything remotely like this. Borderline Jimmy V territory.

I married into an @NCState family and what a weekend for the Pack. Double final fours. Go Pack!

This is really exciting to see--@RepAir_Carbone deploying their first DAC prototype in the field! RepAir is going to learn so much from this system and it's going to help them make the next leap that much faster.

Heirloom and CarbonCapture’s distinct approaches are proof that there are many flavors to direct air capture (DAC), each involving tough design decisions! The one common feature across all promising DAC companies: steep cost curves and fast iteration speeds.

@sports_by_stats Awesome thread! I wonder to what extent, if any, the set piece service and long throw-ins (the staab lob) add value

Ultimately, I think missing the playoffs ends Staab's defender of the year campaign. Nonetheless, her elite ball progression, very solid defensive metrics, and "iron woman" award makes me think she should be considered for the award. /🧵

Continuous firing of coaches sucks for @WashSpirit, even if I agree with Michele Kang about firing Parsons. In happier news, I do think that Sam Staab has had a phenomenal season. A quick stats 🧵
