Our take
Supercritical is offering businesses the option to reach carbon net zero output. It measures a company’s carbon footprint, creates an actionable plan for reducing emissions, and recommends a portfolio of high-quality carbon removal offsets to buy. It does this through unprecedented transparency of price, availability and quality, so its customers know exactly how its carbon output is being reduced, and what effect this reduction will have.
Businesses create a lot of pollution that either needs to be lowered or removed from the atmosphere to keep the earth’s warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius. With a greater carbon footprint than the entire aviation industry, Supercritical has made the tech industry an initial target.
When companies buy conventional offsets, the carbon emitted still remains in the atmosphere as someone else gets paid not to emit the same amount of carbon. Supercritical differentiates itself by focusing exclusively on carbon removal offsets that actively remove toxins from the atmosphere through methods such as tree planting, biochar, enhanced weathering, bio-oil sequestration, and direct air capture. It partners its customers with teams of climate scientists on carbon removal procurement, offering live pricing and granular vetting to simplify carbon reduction for the fluid and volatile tech industry.
Supercritical counts well-known businesses The Economist Group, Virgin Atlantic and Rothschild & Co as customers. And its using funding to grow its carbon removal to a mass scale, placing it in a good spot to do so with its unique strategy.
