Not actively raising now, but would love to chat! josh [at] noyalabs.com


Hey Tito! Thanks for the support - great seeing you here!


Thanks for your support!


Carbon taxes will absolutely help in solving this problem, and we hope regulation gets enacted to help incentivize people to think and act differently when it comes to their carbon emissions.


Sorry for the big delay in getting back to you!

I'll look more into this - this isn't a solution I'm familiar with. Thanks for sharing, and thanks for your kind words and dedication to solving this problem.


His idea seems like a rough sketch. I don't know how deep he has thought about it. But he mentioned it in at least a few talks.

Would be awesome if you all just looked him up & went to talk with him.

He represents the "what bio can do" part of the equation. And bio does quite a lot already.


Thanks for bringing up the idea! We've been in contact with Maher and Karim already. Love what they're working on.


thanks for the kind words!


This is a great way to put it - this is our MVP, or our "Tesla Roadster", and it will be used to get us to a more permanent, scalable process for carbon removal.


There are some companies that are paying people to remove carbon from the atmosphere, but yes, we absolutely need more of them.

Stripe has become a huge leader in the space with Stripe Climate: https://stripe.com/climate

Microsoft is investing $1B into their Climate Innovation Fund to help them remove all of their historic carbon emissions by 2050: https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2020/01/16/microsoft-will-b...

Shopify is contributing $5M annually to remove CO2 from the air: https://www.shopify.com/about/environment/sustainability-fun...

And there are many other examples of big corporations stepping up to undo some of the damage done to the planet.

In the public sector, the state of CA operates the Low Carbon Fuel Standard, which has creating a marketplace for carbon credits (hovering at ~$200/ton now): https://ww3.arb.ca.gov/fuels/lcfs/credit/lrtweeklycreditrepo...

But yes, more is beneficial and will be helpful. We need as many shots on goal as possible!


Thanks for sharing - this is definitely on our radar!
