Carbon Removal grants

Carbon removal sits next to carbon capture but funds a distinct set of technologies, direct air capture (DAC), enhanced weathering, biochar, bio-oil sequestration, mineralisation, ocean alkalinity enhancement, and biomass carbon removal & storage (BECCS). Public-money pots (DOE Carbon Negative Shot, EU Innovation Fund, UK Track-2) overlap with carbon capture programmes but the offtake-purchase side is where carbon removal lives uniquely. Listed below are the open carbon removal grant calls in that landscape, taken from each funder's own notice and re-checked on every refresh.

Carbon funding is unusually concentrated in sovereign and philanthropic money, because most of the sector has no natural commercial buyer yet. The large recurring programmes are the US Department of Energy, the EU Innovation Fund and its Carbon Removal Certification work, UK DESNZ, and foundations including the Bezos Earth Fund. Advance purchase commitments from Frontier and Microsoft behave like grants for early deployment, and are worth tracking alongside the calls proper.

This page lists open carbon removal grants currently tracked by Raise Lens — 3 of them right now, sorted with the soonest deadline first. Every listing has been classified against the sustainability taxonomy rather than matched on keywords, so what appears here is carbon removal work rather than anything whose description happens to mention it.

3 distinct funders are publishing the carbon removal grants on this page. Who is funding matters as much as what: eligibility, reporting burden and the realistic timeline to a decision vary far more between funders than between individual calls, which is why the listing names the funder on every opportunity it opens.

2 of these close within the next 30 days. Deadlines are taken from the source listing and re-checked on every refresh, but the originating funder remains the authority — always confirm against the official notice before you submit.
