CREW has been chosen to be one of 12 startups in Dogpatch Labs’ inaugural sustainability accelerator. This climate-focused program provides an opportunity to develop pilot projects for our CO2 removal technology in collaboration with industrial and governmental partners, and with support from the start-up ecosystem of Ireland.

Measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) is key for successful carbon dioxide removal - and a topic we care deeply about at CREW. So, we’re teaming up with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory as one of their industry partners in a DOE-selected project to accelerate needed MRV approaches and tech. This funded effort is one of four, totaling $15 million in federal funding, geared towards advancing MRV and commercializing carbon dioxide removal technologies.

"CREW speeds up the natural, long-term pathway for CO2 removal by engaging in a process called enhanced weathering. We take rock that consumes CO2 and make it more reactive by grinding it into a powder and then putting that rock powder in contact with water and CO2. By doing this process in a reactor system, we have the ability to monitor and quantify the rate of this CO2-removal pathway," explains CREW Co-Founder Joachim Katchinoff. "We are thrilled to participate in Frontier Climate's latest round of carbon removal purchases— their largest yet! With this transformational support from Frontier, we are accelerating CREW’s development as we grow from pilot to full-scale deployments."
