Solving the Money Problem Holding Back Carbon Removal
UNDO Carbon can prove its science works. The harder problem is paying for the years between spending on deployment and earning the carbon credits back, and that financing gap, more than the chemistry, is what now decides how fast enhanced rock weathering can grow.
Dominic Shales speaks with Alex Bury, head of finance at UNDO, about the economics of scaling carbon removal. They discuss why enhanced rock weathering leans on existing mining and farming infrastructure rather than expensive capital equipment, the move from upfront payments to payment on delivery, and UNDO's debt deal with the Inlandsis Fund alongside a Microsoft offtake. Bury also covers carbon removal insurance, the significance of Farm Credit Canada's investment, the measurement challenge behind lender confidence, and what it takes to bring a first-time buyer like Barclays into the voluntary carbon market.
UNDO was a winner in the $100 million XPRIZE Carbon Removal competition. Its buyers include Microsoft, Barclays, British Airways and McLaren Racing.
