These materials form the basis of our carbon removal purchases. We're releasing them to the public, under a Creative Commons CC0 license, to promote transparency and knowledge-sharing in the field.
In the root of the repo, you'll find:
- Our project applications from our latest Spring 2021 cycle as well as archived material from 2020. We are grateful to the projects for participating in this process, and agreeing to have their applications made public.
- Our new template project application, including modular supplements for Direct Air Capture, Surface Mineralization, Biomass, Oceans, Geologic Injection, and CO2 Utilization.
- The template application for Spring 2021 was developed in collaboration with CarbonPlan. They are hosting an unbranded version of the application content in markdown format on GitHub. Please consider using it!
- The template review forms that our science and governance reviewers used to provide feedback against our criteria.
- Our purchase agreements. These are the literal contracts, including funding terms for purchase and R&D, technical milestones, renewal criteria, and more.
