## Resource

Carbon removal is no longer a futuristic concept — it's a real market with real contracts. Lucas and Luna dig into the companies actually buying and selling permanent carbon removal credits in 2026, from Microsoft's multi-year offtake agreements to Stripe's Frontier fund. They explain why the cost per ton has dropped from $600 to under $200 in three years, how direct air capture firms like Climeworks and Heirloom are scaling, and what the new 'ton-year accounting' debate means for buyers. A grounded look at what's working, what's not, and why this matters for your portfolio and your carbon footprint. #CarbonRemoval #DirectAirCapture #ClimateTech #CarbonCredits #Microsoft #Stripe #FrontierFund #Climeworks #Heirloom #TonYearAccounting #NetZero #CarbonMarkets #CarbonDioxideRemoval #Economics #GreenPolicy #SustainabilityCosts #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
