About Us
Climate and carbon removal is a long game. In the last 200 years we have released ≈ 1.7 trillion t CO₂e into the atmosphere—and the total is still rising by ≈ 40 billion t every year. There is no quick fix. Meeting the milestones for 2030, 2040, and net‑zero 2050 demands daily, deliberate effort.
At CDR.fyi, our mission is to accelerate durable carbon removal, an essential element of achieving net zero. CDR.fyi is your window to the world of carbon removal. The CDR.fyi Platform provides trusted insights & analytics on durable CDR orders, projects, and financings across the carbon removal market. CDR.fyi is used by various stakeholders across the industry, from suppliers and purchasers to investors, NGOs, policymakers and the media. We aim to deliver the transparency that creates a foundation of trust and to help drive progress across the sector.

Our Journey
CDR.fyi was launched as an open-source project in 2022 by Robert Höglund and Kevin Niparko, with contributions from passionate supporters like Chris Nixon. In 2023, Alex Rink and Tank Chen joined the team to help put the organization on the path to sustainability. In January 2024, we incorporated CDR.fyi as a Delaware Public Benefit Corporation (PBC), with Alex stepping into the CEO role. The PBC structure reflects our commitment to pursuing our mission of accelerating carbon removal in a financially sustainable manner.
