About

Frontier Climate is an advance market commitment (AMC) that aggregates buyer demand to purchase over $1 billion of permanent carbon dioxide removal between 2022 and 2030. Launched in April 2022 by Stripe, Alphabet, Shopify, Meta and McKinsey Sustainability, it operates as a Delaware public benefit LLC subsidiary of Stripe and facilitates prepurchases and offtake agreements with CDR suppliers on behalf of its buyer coalition. It is one of the most influential demand-side actors in the CDR market.
