Yale-related nonprofit wins global carbon removal prize

  • A non-profit organization building on research from Yale’s Noah Planavsky has won the $50 million grand prize from the XPRIZE Carbon Removal international competition.
  • In its work, which is focused on the Global South, Mati Carbon uses crushed rocks to drive a chemical reaction that transfers CO2 to a stable form of carbon that can be stored in the ocean and remain for thousands of years.
  • This process, its scientists say, also helps improve soil health for farmers who have limited funds for soil amendments.
