1/ @OctopusEnergy is backing Living Carbon with $500M to reforest degraded land and remove CO₂ across North America. This major project financing comes with an additional ~$13M investment in our carbon business.
Living Carbon is putting low quality land back to work. Our innovative reforestation turns low quality land into thriving forests faster to remove carbon or produce sustainable forest products.

Our team is thrilled to share that @OctopusEnergy is set to invest $500M into Living Carbon’s reforestation projects across the U.S., plus ~$13M in our growing carbon removal business.
Our flagship carbon project alone will absorb roughly the equivalent of San Francisco's annual emissions. This funding allows us to x10 our work on up to 250,000 acres across America. Read more about it in today’s WSJ.

This means transforming former mine and agricultural land into thriving forests, creating biodiversity, ecosystem and community co-benefits too.

We're honored to be recognized on the "50 by 2050" list created by @congruentvc and @SiliconVlyBank. This list highlights the next generation of high-growth companies solving the hardest decarbonization challenges. Proud to be in great company as we scale our carbon projects and purpose-grown biomass on degraded land.

From extraction to regeneration, we're proud reforest 25 K acres of former mine and ag land to remove 1.4 M tCO₂. Appreciate the spotlight on scalable climate solutions @alexisohanian. 🌳🚀
We burned coal to build the world. Now we’re planting forests to save it.

@Living_Carbon + @Microsoft are reforesting 25,000 acres of mined land—the biggest project of its kind in North America.
From extraction to regeneration. That’s the kind of pivot we need more of.

At OpenAI, @maddiehalla saw a mission-driven team race past the Turing Test.
She asked herself: in our AI future, what other massive problems will remain unsolved?
Climate change. Here's how her new company @living_carbon is tackling this problem with biotech-enhanced trees:

Take a look at how our ornamental trees are doing! 👀🌿Across 20 US states, these photosynthesis-enhanced poplars have taken root to both sequester carbon and beautify landscapes. #community #naturebasedsolutions #photosynthesis

Check out these 2.5 year old wild-type hybrid poplars planted by a Pennslyvania landowner in an abandoned mineland! These trees help us evaluate the suitability of sites for future plantings of photosynthesis-enhanced poplars 🌱🌳 #landrestoration
