Frontier Carbon Removal Portfolio
An advance market commitment driving scalable carbon removal solutions via frontier technologies.
The Frontier Carbon Removal Portfolio is a collective commitment to advance the market for permanent carbon removal technologies. Led by companies including Stripe, Alphabet, Shopify, Meta, and McKinsey, Frontier pools pre-commercial offtake agreements to de-risk investment in early-stage carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies. The portfolio includes direct air capture (DAC), enhanced rock weathering, ocean-based carbon dioxide removal, bio-oil sequestration, and other innovative approaches. The goal is to accelerate cost reduction curves and technical learning, making high-quality permanent carbon removal commercially viable at scale by 2030. Frontier has committed over $1 billion to purchase permanent carbon removal and has already contracted with leading suppliers. This advance market commitment model — pioneered in vaccine development — sends a powerful demand signal that enables entrepreneurs and scientists to develop next-generation carbon removal solutions.

How it fits the portfolio
Removes CO₂ and stores it for centuries or longer: underground, in minerals or as stable biochar. The most durable and most expensive type.
Risks to know
- High cost and limited supply, so its share of the portfolio is small today.
- Early-stage technologies: some credits are delivered in future years, and delivery depends on them scaling up.
