Isometric: Transforming Carbon Removal with Technology, Customers, and Expertise

---

The fight against climate change requires innovation and integrity, and Isometric is leading the charge with a groundbreaking platform that ensures carbon removal projects are effective, durable, and transparent. Combining cutting-edge technology with collaboration from trusted customers and leading experts, Isometric is redefining how carbon removal is measured, verified, and scaled.

In July 2023, Isometric secured a $25 million seed funding round led by Lowercarbon Capital and Plural, with participation from notable angel investors including Niklas Zennström (co-founder of Skype), David Helgason (founder of Unity Technologies), Ross Mason (founder of MuleSoft), and Ilkka Paananen (founder of Supercell).

Isometric has built an engaged, diverse community of over 300 climate scientists and industry experts who play a pivotal role in reviewing protocols and accelerating carbon removal science.

The team comprises scientists from prestigious institutions, including the University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, MIT, Harvard University, and Stanford University.

Additionally, Isometric collaborates with external expert reviewers from esteemed institutions such as Heriot-Watt University and Cardiff University, as demonstrated in the development of their carbon removal protocols.

The Isometric Platform: Setting New Standards in Carbon Removal

Isometric’s platform addresses the critical challenges in the carbon removal industry, including the need for transparency, verifiability, and trustworthiness. It is built on two key pillars: the Science Platform and the Carbon Removal Registry.

1. The Science Platform

At the heart of Isometric’s operations is the Science Platform, a powerful tool designed to bring scientific rigour to carbon removal. Key features include:

• Open Data Sharing: Carbon removal suppliers upload and share project data openly, enabling independent reviews and fostering trust.

• Expert Collaboration: A global community of over 300 climate scientists, engineers, and industry experts work within the platform to review protocols and validate projects, ensuring they meet the highest standards of quality.

• Custom Protocol Development: The platform supports suppliers in developing bespoke protocols for novel carbon removal techniques, such as direct air capture or enhanced weathering, ensuring emerging technologies receive rigorous evaluation.

By centralising data and expertise, the Science Platform ensures that every carbon removal credit listed meets robust, evidence-based criteria.

2. The Carbon Removal Registry

The Carbon Removal Registry is a public ledger where Isometric lists only verified carbon removal credits. Its features include:

• Transparency: All listed credits are supported by detailed, openly accessible data, providing buyers and investors with clear insights into project methodology, durability, and long-term impact.

• Exclusivity: The registry lists only credits verified to the Isometric Standard, ensuring that each credit represents one tonne of CO₂ genuinely removed from the atmosphere.

• Credibility: By bridging suppliers and buyers through a transparent system, the registry reduces the risks associated with low-quality or unverifiable carbon offsets.

Together, these tools create a trusted ecosystem for durable, high-quality carbon removal.

Customers and Experts: Building a Trusted Ecosystem

Isometric’s success is built not only on its innovative technology but also on its collaboration with industry-leading customers and renowned experts. Their customers include:
