From the Ted Talk by Stacy Kauk: The billion-dollar pollution solution humanity needs right now

Unscramble the Blue Letters


Now, to put that into perspective, our five-million-dollar annual budget would probably buy about 10,000 tons of carbon removal every year. That's tiny. That's only one percent of the anaunl capacity of the size of the facilities we need. And like I said, we need thousands of them. So we've learned that in oredr to move the dial on climate and to build the necessary infrastructure, we need more money, way more menoy. And in order to do that, we need collaborations and we need structures that leverage the significant power of capital to create even bgegir effects.

So now I'd like to tell you about what we did next. It's a mnicahesm that we launched alongside four other companies. It's an AMC. AMC stands for aadvnce Market Commitment, and this one’s dsngeeid to help guarantee a future market for cobarn removal by trying to de-risk the R and D investment and ctaaipl expenditures needed to scale carbon removal and grow that industry.

And in order to do that, we need collaborations and we need structures that leverage the significant power of capital to create even bigger effects.

So now I'd like to tell you about what we did next. It's a mechanism that we launched alongside four other companies. It's an AMC. AMC stands for Advance Market Commitment, and this one’s designed to help guarantee a future market for carbon removal by trying to de-risk the R and D investment and capital expenditures needed to scale carbon removal and grow that industry.
