Climate Vault exists to help organizations reduce and eliminate their carbon footprint to tackle climate change. As a 501c3, our mission is to significantly reduce global CO2 emissions and support carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies that remove CO2 already in our atmosphere. Our two-step approach includes:

1. REDUCE: Once we understand our Partner’s carbon footprint, we buy an equivalent amount of carbon allowances (1 allowance = 1 ton) on government-regulated compliance markets and lock them in our “vault.” Because the number of allowances is capped, removing them prevents polluters from emitting and creates an immediate and verifiable CO2 reduction.
2. REMOVE: Next, we convert those reductions into removals. Guided by our Technology Chamber – composed of science, innovation, and energy experts from MIT, Harvard, Princeton, and more – we use the value of the allowances to support carbon dioxide removal technologies.

Climate Vault is an Accredited Solutions Provider (ASP) for CDP, an environmental non-profit partner for 1% for the Planet, and in 2022 was named a "World Changing Idea" by Fast Company.
