What happened
- Phase 2 of the UK Direct Air Capture and Greenhouse Gas Removal Innovation Programme, awarded 8 July 2022 by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. Fifteen projects were funded; this row is one of them and each is recorded separately, because a grant programme is not a company and a cohort booked as one row ranks the programme as though it were one recipient. SeaCURE seawater CO2 removal.
Kumo note
- One of fifteen awards under the UK's Direct Air Capture and Greenhouse Gas Removal Innovation Programme, the largest single public push into engineered removal in the UK to date and the origin of several companies that later raised privately. Grant money of this kind is what pays for the pilot that makes a company financeable, which is why it is ranked here with value rather than treated as a subsidy footnote.
