Carbon Wealth

Carbon Wealth is the inventor of SkyMining®, the process of literally mining pure carbon straight out of the atmosphere, and turning that carbon into a clean and renewable fuel that can replace fossil fuels and charcoal all over the world.

The unique aspect of SkyMining® is that the resulting CO2-based fuel is cheaper than most fossil fuels and charcoal, yet highly profitable. This profitability is the much needed paradigm shift in dealing with climate change.

SkyMining® is a holistic process that combines biology and technology; using the hyper-efficient CO2 pumps in fast-growing grass to extract carbon straight from the atmosphere, a large part of which is permanently stored in the ground. Our technology is then used to convert the carbon inside the grass itself into a Carbon Negative Fuel (CNF) that is clean and renewable  — and that replaces both fossil fuels and charcoal to stop existing emissions and slow deforestation.

The technology has successfully tested on an industrial scale, is massively scalable, and ready for global deployment — giving the world ‘something else to burn’ that will not add CO2 to the atmosphere.

There is enough excess carbon in the sky to power the planet and replace all fossil fuels.

Impossible Foods

Impossible Foods is leading the way to a secure and sustainable food system by creating irresistibly delicious meat and dairy products - directly from plants. 

Animal farming was a brilliant innovation thousands of years ago, but is an environmental disaster today. Occupying more than a third of the earth’s dry land, it uses more than a quarter of its fresh water and is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions and the biggest cause of species extinction and biodiversity loss. Existing plant crops could meet all the world’s nutritional needs with a fraction of the environmental impact. But people will not give up the foods they love unless they have choices that are just as satisfying.

Impossible Foods is developing new ways to create sustainable, affordable foods with all the nutritional value and the wonderfully complex flavors and textures of meat and dairy products - without using animals. Its first product, the Impossible burger, will be launched in 2016. The company's goal is to replace all foods traditionally derived from animals with uncompromising plant-based alternatives.

Impossible Foods was founded in 2011 by Patrick Brown, M.D., Ph.D., a prominent research scientist and Professor Emeritus at Stanford University.

Invest in Iceland

Iceland is renowned for sustainable green energy from renewable geothermal and hydro resources. The energy is also highly cost competitive, available with long term contracts and delivered reliably via state of the art fully redundant infrastructure.

After replacing fossil fuel completely for space heating and electricity production, Iceland‘s expertise and know-how in geothermal utilisation has become a valuable export item, increasing the share of renewable energy in other countries. A cable to Europe for exporting renewable energy is being evaluated. Over 80% of Iceland‘s own primary energy need is met with renewables, with only transport and fishing depending on oil.

Offering a prime location between North America and Europe, Iceland focuses on a favourable business environment with only 20% corporate tax, advanced infrastructure, availability of land, and efficient incentives. The workforce is young, multilingual and technologically sophisticated. Foreign investors, striving to cut cost, and reduce the carbon footprint, at the same time, have been turning to Iceland

Carbon Tracker

Carbon Tracker is a not for profit financial think tank aimed at enabling a climate secure global energy market by aligning capital market actions with climate reality.

Carbon Tracker has been credited by The Guardian for "changing the financial language of climate change," largely through its development of financial tools and analyses that align capital markets with climate risk.

The think tank’s research has instigated a new debate on how to align the financial system with the energy transition to a low carbon future which is gaining considerable momentum in global financial centres such as London and New York.

A key focus for Carbon Tracker is aiding major financial institutions, such as the Bank of England, in understanding the long-term financial risks associated with deep investment in fossil fuels, and to help rebalance banks' portfolios to reflect an emerging energy economy where low- and zero-carbon fuels are the primary drivers of growth.

Carbon Tracker has distilled its risk message to four bullet points for banks:

  • unburnable carbon, or fossil fuels that cannot be burned under new carbon budgets;
  • stranded assets, mostly coal, oil and gas reserves that are no longer economically viable due to both market and regulatory shifts;
  • wasted capital spending on high-cost, high-carbon energy projects that are no longer profitable;
  • and risk premiums for projects that are highly dependent on fossil fuels.
