280 Earth Secures $40 Million Funding to Scale Carbon Removal Technology

280 Earth, a company dedicated to combating climate change by developing carbon removal technology, has successfully raised $40 million in funding. The company, which was incubated at Google X, The Moonshot Factory, focuses on scaling its Direct Air Capture (DAC) system that pulls CO2 out of the air permanently. With solutions that not only remove excess CO2 but also produce fresh water and run on waste heat, 280 Earth is at the forefront of developing innovative ways to address the global CO2 imbalance. The funding will enable 280 Earth to further expand its technology and research, ultimately working towards creating a more sustainable future for generations to come.
