CarbonFix

CarbonFix operates as a strategic grant-making organization dedicated to accelerating breakthrough climate technologies. With an ambitious mission to counteract 1% of excess global warming by the end of this decade, the foundation identifies and financially supports early-stage innovations with significant carbon reduction potential. Their funding approach targets the critical gap between conceptual research and commercial viability, providing resources to help promising climate solutions overcome initial development hurdles.

The organization focuses on backing science-based climate innovations developed by a diverse community of researchers, entrepreneurs, and technical experts. CarbonFix evaluates potential grantees based on three primary criteria: scientific validity, scalability potential, and demonstrated carbon impact effectiveness. This rigorous assessment framework ensures resources flow to projects with the highest probability of achieving meaningful climate mitigation outcomes rather than incremental improvements to existing technologies.

Unlike traditional venture capital firms that require financial returns, CarbonFix operates with a pure impact model, measuring success through verified carbon reduction metrics. The foundation maintains a technology-agnostic approach, supporting solutions across various sectors including direct air capture, enhanced weathering, ocean-based sequestration, and industrial decarbonization pathways. Their portfolio reflects a balanced investment strategy between carbon removal technologies and emissions reduction innovations, recognizing both approaches are essential for comprehensive climate action.

CarbonFix actively encourages collaboration between grantees and established research institutions, creating an ecosystem that accelerates knowledge sharing and technical advancement. Beyond financial support, the organization provides grantees with access to scientific advisors, regulatory guidance, and potential implementation partners. Innovators with promising projects can initiate the application process by contacting CarbonFix directly at hello@carbonfix.org, where the team evaluates submissions based on their potential to deliver scalable climate impact aligned with the foundation's ambitious 2030 carbon mitigation targets.
