Carbon Drawdown Collective

Lithos Carbon is an agricultural carbon removal company that develops carbon capture technology for farms. It aims to convert farmland into carbon capture centers, removing a billion tons of CO2 from the atmosphere this decade while increasing crop yields. Lithos' technology, which was founded in March 2022 by repeat entrepreneurs and the world's experts in atmospheric geochemistry, provides an optimization platform that permanently removes CO2 from the atmosphere in human seasons rather than geologic millennia. Lithos' deployments are custom designed on a field-by-field and crop-by-crop basis to improve yield, protect crops, and improve soil conditions. They are cost-effective, immediately scalable, and empirically measured.
