Exciting news! 🎉 This week, Lithos Carbon has been named a semifinalist for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Historic Carbon Dioxide Removal Purchase Prize! 🏆 The Carbon Dioxide Removal Purchase Pilot Prize represents the first-ever direct CDR purchase by the U.S. Federal Government. 📋🏗 Semifinalists were selected by a team of technical experts at DOE and National Laboratories based on a detailed evaluation of technical, business, operational, and community benefit plan proposals that included input and feedback from domestic communities. 🚀🌎 Lithos is now showcasing our ability to permanently capture CO2 at-scale while competing to be one of 10 winners who will receive a Carbon Credit Purchase Agreement award for the sale of rigorous, high-quality carbon removal services to the Federal government. At Lithos Carbon, we're dedicated to working hand-in-hand with farmers to unlock the potential of high-quality, safe, and nutrient rich Enhanced Rock Weathering for a more resilient future. 🌍 We're proud that our nature-based approach to carbon capture is validated, safe, and trusted by farmers to spread on their land. 🌱👨🌾 As we’ve scaled Lithos' solution, we've invested in community-focused existing infrastructure that surrounds American farming, including local spreading, trucking, quarries, and soil sampling companies. The support from the CDR Purchase Prize will allow us to deepen this impact, further scaling with these crucial partners and supporting the communities they serve. We’re excited to build! Together, we can put climate change on the rocks. 🪨🧱🏗️🌎 Read more in the press release, linked in the comments below. #CDRPurchasePilotPrize
