The Climate Vault Approach

Climate Vault is a 501(c)(3). We believe that climate change is the single most important issue of our time, and there is no time left to waste on climate solutions that fail to deliver on their promises. That is why Climate Vault created our unique 2-step approach to help organizations first reduce and then ultimately remove their carbon emissions.

Our Process

Reduction

Companies donate to Climate Vault based on their carbon impact and current market prices. Climate Vault then sources and “vaults” allowances from regulated and enforceable cap-and-trade markets.

Because the number of allowances in these markets is capped, removing them from circulation decreases the limit of permissible CO2 emissions available to regulated emitters today and provides a quantifiable, verifiable emission reduction.

Get Started

Removal

Climate Vault works with industry-leading science, policy, and technology experts to identify and vet the highest quality CDR projects available today.

Climate Vault then uses the value of the vaulted allowances to purchase the removal of atmospheric carbon from these breakthrough projects.

The Result

With a single donation, our donors are reducing their carbon footprint today and supporting the development of competitive carbon removal technologies of the future.
