## Resource

Anthropic just became the first AI startup to join the Frontier carbon removal coalition, committing to buy permanent carbon removal credits. In this episode, Lucas and Luna break down why AI companies are increasingly investing in carbon offsets and removal technologies, how the economics work, and what it means for AI's energy footprint going forward. They discuss the scale of AI's power consumption, the role of voluntary carbon markets, and whether credits are a genuine solution or just greenwashing. With specific data on recent prices for carbon removal and a look at who else is buying, this episode explains the surprising intersection of AI and climate tech. #Anthropic #Frontier #CarbonRemoval #AIClimateImpact #CarbonCredits #NetZero #ClimateTech #AIEnergy #DataCenterEmissions #VoluntaryCarbonMarket #DAC #Greenwashing #AIStartups #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechPodcast #AI Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
