About
Cascade Climate is a philanthropically-backed US nonprofit (launched June 2023) that accelerates open-system CDR pathways, with an initial focus on enhanced rock weathering (ERW). It does not remove CO2 itself; instead it develops community quantification standards, tools like the Weathering Potential Explorer and ERW-MAC, the Data Quarry data-sharing platform, and funds ERW R&D and policy work. Backers include the Grantham Foundation, Quadrature Climate Foundation, Google, and Frontier.
