How Project Affects Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions:

['Replaces/avoids GHGs (e.g., projects that replace sources of GHGs, such as the burning of fossil fuels for electricity, heat, transport, or other energy uses)', 'Reduces GHGs (e.g., projects that reduce sources of GHGs, such as through efficiency or other changes in consumption)']

Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

Climate change disproportionately affects lower income class people who don't have the means to protect themselves against its adverse effects. Since our product is designed to capture CO2, at scale, we believe, we can bring positive changes to marginal and underrepresented community. Setting up of carbon capture plants will also lead to more employment opportunities for such people.

Mission Statement:

Our vision is to build hardware products related to decarbonization. Two main pathways of decarbonization are 1) active carbon capture and removal or utilization and 2) incorporation of more energy efficient hardware that leads to lower lifetime CO2 emissions. We are interested to provide hardware solutions for both these pathways.
