Frontier Consortium Buys $1.75 Million of Carbon Credits

Frontier, a carbon credit purchasing consortium that counts Google and Meta as founding members, this week announced it has facilitated $1.75 million of carbon removal purchases from Karbonetiq (United States), Limenet (Italy), and pHathom (Canada) on behalf of buyers Stripe, Shopify, and Google.

“We're honoured to announce that Frontier has selected pHathom Technologies as a supplier in its latest carbon removal pre-purchase round,” pHathom said. “This represents catalytic validation of our approach to scalable, ocean-based carbon removal powered by verified sustainable forestry.”

“Alkalinity-based solutions could one day reach large scale,” Randy Spock, Google’s carbon credits and removal lead, said on LinkedIn. “By harnessing an existing natural process of acid-base reactions, approaches like surficial weathering (exposing rocks in the open) and ocean liming (de-acidifying bodies of water so they can more effectively regulate the atmosphere) show high potential to reach enormous scale at low cost.”
