About
280 Earth was launched in 2018 at X, Google’s moonshot factory, and spun out in 2022; the first phase of its Dalles, Oregon facility was built to capture 500 tons/year of CO2, with the site sized to eventually capture more than 20,000 tons/year. Frontier buyers are paying 280 Earth $40m to permanently remove 61,571 tons of CO₂ between 2024 and 2030 at the pilot facility. The company is headquartered in Mountain View, California and backed by Builders VC, Gideon Yu, and Alphabet.
