What we aim to solve

Our programs

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Science and Innovation

We work directly with scientists and startups, grounding our work in the latest research, partnering with entrepreneurs to incubate early ideas, and supporting innovation in emerging markets - all with the goal of creating tangible, lasting impact.

Policy

The US government is a powerful engine for change; we put it to work on carbon removal's biggest obstacles, helping policymakers fill in research gaps, drive down costs, and unlock private capital.

Environmental Justice

With carbon removal, we have the chance to redress the injustices that led to this crisis in the first place. We weave environmental justice through every policy, project, and engagement to shape a carbon removal field that reroutes power to the most disenfranchised.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

Carbon180 designs and champions science-based, equitable policies that can remove carbon from the atmosphere at the gigaton scale.

Every day, we work to leverage the size and power of the US government to tackle carbon removal's biggest obstacles. Using the same policy levers and finance mechanisms that helped pioneer past climate solutions, policymakers can fill in research gaps, drive down costs, and unlock private capital all while ensuring practices meet the highest labor and environmental standards.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

We're working to reverse two centuries of carbon emissions - the right way.

For us, that means centering justice, equity, and accountability in every policy and project so that the carbon-removing future we build works for everyone.

Building the carbon removal field means working collaboratively with policymakers, community members, entrepreneurs, and scientists to bring big ideas to bear in this fast-moving space. As we do, we're defining what good carbon removal looks like, making sure it scales not just quickly, but well.

Policy: The US government is a powerful engine for change, we put it to work on carbon removal's biggest obstacles, helping policymakers fill in research gaps, drive down costs, and unlock private capital.

Environmental Justice: With carbon removal, we have the chance to redress the injustices that led to this crisis in the first place. We weave environmental justice through every policy, project, and engagement to shape a carbon removal field that reroutes power to the most disenfranchised.

Science & Innovation: We work directly with scientists and startups, grounding our work in the latest research, partnering with entrepreneurs to incubate early ideas, and supporting innovation in emerging markets - all with the goal of creating tangible, lasting impact.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

Our team includes veterans in US government advocacy as well as climate scientists.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

All of our impact is measured as contribution not attribution (as we focus on policy change). In FY2022, Congress appropriated approximately $172.6 million for carbon removal.

Our advocacy in 2021 and 2022 included the following highlights:
Worked with key Senate offices and Finance Committee staff to advocate for important provisions within the 45Q credit for DAC; Successfully continued work with Congressional offices and committee staff to ensure carbon management (SCALE Act, Regional DAC Hubs, Class VI funding) provisions drafted by the Senate remain in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal; Began to work with partners to advise DOE on how to best implement provisions authorized through IIJA, particularly DAC hubs in coordination with other carbon management programs; Continued to refine our policy position on enhanced oil recovery (which ultimately resulted in a public position of no EOR in DAC hubs).

Last, we continue to publish a variety of tools & resources for thinking and learning about carbon removal. These include fact sheets, graphics, a newsletter, a blog, and reports. Search our tools & resources here: https://carbon180.org/search.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

Data

We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.

Policies and processes

We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
