We stand at the dawn of a new carbon economy.

The New Carbon Economy Consortium is an alliance of universities, national labs, and NGOs working in partnership with industry leaders to build a carbon conscious world.

Building the New Carbon Economy

A prosperous, growing economy that captures and stores more carbon than it emits.

Engineered Solutions

Technologies and systems that capture, convert, and store CO2 from the air and oceans, such as direct capture of CO2 from air and point sources, converting CO2 into valuable products (e.g., concrete or fuels), and the accelerated mineralization of CO2 for sequestration.

Biological Solutions

Biological solutions include ecosystem restoration, improved forestry practices, changes in agricultural practices, developing soil amendments that improve soil health, and cultivating and converting algae into valuable products such as fertilizer and animal feed.

Hybrid Solutions

Hybrid energy solutions can include bioenergy with carbon capture, biochar production, waste to energy systems, and carbon cultivating aquaculture.

Innovation Plan

Our vision for the future

By convening researchers from across institutions and disciplines to pose new research questions, share resources and develop pathways towards the widespread deployment of carbon removal solutions, we have set forth an innovation agenda for a new carbon economy.
