Carbon Removal Partners

Carbon Removal Partners is a Zurich-based investment firm backing early-stage companies and technologies in carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and the wider carbon removal value chain. Its stated focus is on entrepreneurs pursuing durable carbon removal with a route to industrial scale, and it targets businesses that can scale globally rather than in a single market. Technical areas of interest include direct air capture and enhanced rock weathering.

The firm's activities span three lines: early-stage investment into carbon removal businesses; venture building, in which it works with entrepreneurs at the formative stages of company development; and engagement with corporates and investors to support development of the carbon removal industry as a whole. Stage of focus is defined as early-stage businesses and technologies; fund size, check size and founding year are not disclosed.

Investment decision-making is described as guided by scientific methods and long-term horizons. Portfolio support is hands-on and concentrated on the formative stages of a company, with an emphasis on ambition and durable technologies - a distinction that matters in CDR, where permanence of storage is a central diligence question and the path to industrial scale is the principal commercial risk.

The firm operates from Zurich, Switzerland, and invests with a global remit.
