REMOVE your hard-to-avoid emissions directly from the atmosphere at an optimal cost

Understanding Removal

Reclaiming our planet!

We help businesses remove their unavoidable, hard-to-reduce, and historic emissions easily, at an optimal cost using not one but a variety of technology and nature based methods. At the same time, we facilitate the development of a carbon removal ecosystem. 

What do we do?

​

We are in the carbon removal business.

​

We make carbon removal faster and economically viable for businesses and in the process develop a carbon removal ecosystem, that leads to overall scaling of carbon removal technologies and nature based solutions, thus helping reverse climate change.

We help businesses remove their residual, unavoidable, hard-to-reduce, and historic emissions using not one, but a variety of nature and technology based carbon removal methods, thus optimizing the cost. Removals where the component of technology based removal is high, retire faster, while the removals where the component of nature based removal is high, retire slower.

How do we do it?

​

We have packaged one or more of both technology and nature based carbon dioxide removals into a single unit called a Novoton, thus optimizing the cost of removal. 

​

A Novoton is a midway between faster and expensive technology based solutions and slow & affordable nature based solutions.

A Novoton is a tonne of carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere using one or more  of both nature and technology based solutions. In other words, when you buy a Novoton, part of the cost is used to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere using one or more nature based methods and the balance using one or more technology based methods.

The fraction of nature and technology based removals in a Novoton has been optimized to reach an optimal cost. Novotons having higher technology component retire faster, while Novotons having higher natural component retire slower. 

​

With Novotons we automatically provide businesses a portfolio of solutions, something they have been fervently searching for. 

How it works?

How Novotons help in creating a carbon removal ecosystem?

If you buy a Novoton, we remove one tonne of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere on your behalf via one or more nature and technology based methods. 

A Novoton is a tonne of carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere using one or more of nature or technology based methods. The moment you buy one or more Novotons, the money you pay to remove one (or more) Novoton(s) gets distributed according to the composition of the Novoton you have chosen. For e.g. if the Novoton you have chosen has 20% Nature and 80% Technical Component, 20% of the money you have paid goes to remove carbon dioxide via natural methods, while 80% goes to remove carbon dioxide via technology based methods. 

​

The nature and technology based components in a Novoton may further contain one or more nature and technology based methods in them respectively. In other words, the nature based component in a Novoton may be composed of one or more nature based methods while the technology component may contain one or more technology based methods. 

Therefore, the money you pay to buy a Novoton, goes to a minimum of two companies, technologies or startups removing carbon dioxide via technology and nature based methods. If you buy a Novoton, you not only remove your emissions in a timely manner, at an optimal cost but also help carbon removal startups, technologies and companies scale. 

Thus, buying a Novoton helps develop a Carbon Removal Ecosystem.

What is our mission?

​

Our mission is to help our planet keep global warming below 1.5 Degree C by creating an ecosystem for carbon removal technologies and help scale as many different technology and nature based removal methods. In the process we make quick carbon removal affordable to businesses. 

That is why we are continuously scouting for start-ups and technologies that are into both nature and technology based carbon dioxide removal with an objective to help them scale. 

Timely carbon removal is expensive. As per IPCC special report, in this century we have to remove around 100-1000 Gigatons of carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere to keep global warming below 1.5 degree C.

This comes down to removing a minimum of 1 Gigaton per year and currently we are not even close. Thus it is imperative that we develop many different removal methods and techniques so that we can meet our target in a timely manner. Developing many removal technologies will also bring the cost down to quite a large extent and make quick carbon removal affordable to businesses. 

​

We are thus making timely carbon removal affordable in two ways (1) by combining various nature and technology based solutions so as to optimize the cost (2) helping develop as many removal solutions and methods that eventually the cost will come down.
