    Beliefs

    We believe that climate change is a threat to the planet and everything we care for.

    We believe that human ingenuity and the application of science can solve climate change.

    We believe that reducing emissions is not enough. We also need to remove excess carbon from the atmosphere.

    We believe that to stabilize our climate we need to leverage the strengths of existing large-scale industrial operations.
