Biorecro recently sat down with Adam Fraser, the CEO of Terraset, a non-profit organization focused on #CarbonRemoval. Terraset operates as a 501c3, channeling tax-deductible donations into the strategic procurement of high-quality carbon removals (CDR) to foster industry growth. In contrast to entities purchasing carbon credits for emissions offset, Terraset focuses on catalyzing the CDR sector, with donors receiving tax deductions. Here are few highlights from the interview: ➡️ Terraset's Origin and Mission 🚀💫🚀 Terraset, founded in October 2022 by Alex Roetter and Chris Wedding, addresses the need for philanthropic capital in advancing the carbon removal industry. The organization's mission revolves around making strategic purchases of high-quality, permanent carbon removal to scale the CDR sector. ➡️ Differentiators in Mainstream Carbon Procurement 🤝🪨🤝 Terraset's approach to carbon procurement sets it apart from entities like Microsoft and Frontier. Unlike corporate procurements of carbon removal, as a nonprofit, their donors receive a tax deduction rather than #CarbonCredits. Donors are tackling this crisis on a voluntary basis solely because they believe it's for the good of the planet. ➡️ Funding Strategy and Donor Diversity 💲💲💲 Terraset aims for democratized access to funding by accepting contributions from various sources, including individual donors, foundations, and businesses. The organization actively seeks donations of any amount, making carbon removal accessible to a broad audience. Strategic partnerships with high net-worth individuals and foundations contribute to Terraset's funding mix. The organization's ambition is to raise hundreds of millions dollars for carbon removal, relying on a diverse funding spectrum from donors committed to addressing climate change. ➡️ Approach to Carbon Removal 🌿🌿🌿 Terraset's recent purchases include projects with innovative approaches in the #CDR space, addressing co-benefits alongside carbon removal. The organization remains methodology agnostic but sees #BECCS as a crucial part of the future climate solution. Terraset aims to contribute to both the voluntary market and regulatory mechanisms, emphasizing the importance of a strong voluntary market in addressing the climate crisis. Terraset's unique approach to carbon removal, utilizing philanthropic donations, and commitment to scaling the CDR sector, positions itself as a significant player in the industry. Through diverse funding sources, strategic partnerships, and innovative project selections, Terraset continues to make a meaningful impact on the global effort to combat climate change.
