It was already clear that biochar had potential. The @XPRIZE Carbon Removal results now prove, with an unprecedented level of audited technical, operational, and economical data, that biochar along @NetZero’s model can indeed scale to the Gigatonne level in a highly efficient way. Huge thanks to the team of 150+ people who have worked relentlessly to reach this amazing recognition! And of course big thanks to our amazing partners for supporting us along this journey! Beyond NetZero and biochar, a key learning from the selected cohort of winners (cc @mati_carbon, @VaultedDeep, and @undocarbon) is that hybrid solutions using nature+technology are the way to go for truly scaling carbon removal. Rocks and organic matter are some of the most abundant materials on Earth - let’s start leveraging them at scale to remove carbon and stabilise the climate!
