InPlanet, a leading ClimateTech start-up, has secured $100,000 in new funding from investors. The company is pioneering Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) as a measurable, scalable, and verified carbon removal solution. InPlanet's innovative approach involves applying finely ground silicate rock to tropical farmlands, a method that facilitates the capture and storage of atmospheric COâ‚‚ while simultaneously improving soil health and agricultural productivity.
This funding round underscores the growing recognition of ERW's significant potential in addressing global climate change. InPlanet is notable for being the first company globally to independently certify ERW carbon credits, a crucial step that ensures high-quality, permanent COâ‚‚ sequestration. Beyond its primary function of carbon removal, the company's regenerative approach delivers substantial co-benefits, enhancing soil fertility, water retention, and nutrient availability. This makes farms more resilient to climate change, boosts crop yields, and reduces reliance on chemical fertilizers, supporting both global carbon removal efforts and sustainable agricultural practices.
The capital received will be strategically deployed to accelerate InPlanet's growth initiatives and expand its operational footprint. Founded by Felix Harteneck and Niklas Kluger, InPlanet is powered by a multidisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and climate experts committed to scaling nature-based solutions. This investment positions InPlanet to further advance its mission of making nature-based carbon dioxide removal a widespread reality, helping companies worldwide achieve net zero by removing COâ‚‚ at gigaton scale and fostering a sustainable future where climate action and agriculture are integrated.
