How do we know climate projects are having the impact they claim? It’s a question we often get from our Lune customers. And rightly so. 

They want to be in the know, feel confident about maximising their climate impact, and celebrate project successes with stakeholders.

This is why we share quarterly updates from Lune’s library of curated, high quality climate projects (we won’t have updates for every project every time, but we’ll share what we do) – and this is the update for Q2 2024.

And the third little pig built their house out of carbon bricks

Marshalls Bricks and Masonry has partnered with CarbonCure to launch an innovative range of bricks. These bricks aren’t like the ones that line your street, but they’re just as strong, and way more sustainable. 

These bricks have been injected with waste CO2 captured by CarbonCure, a project featured in Lune’s curated library. As a result, the CO2 becomes mineralised and permanently locked into the brick for millennia, preventing its release into the atmosphere, even upon demolition. 

This development is a solid example of how carbon capture technology can accelerate decarbonisation — spinning the climate flywheel. 

The biggest purchase of DAC carbon credits. Ever. 

Microsoft has made the biggest purchase of direct air capture carbon credits. Ever. It’s the equivalent of 500,000 metric tons of permanent carbon removal. 
1PointFive, a direct air capture (DAC) project featured on Lune’s curated library, will deliver the credits.
This deal signifies a maturing market ready to embrace diverse and innovative carbon removal solutions to meet the forecast +$6 trillion investment needed to meet net zero.

New project: Vaulted Deep

New to the Lune dashboard, Vaulted Deep is a Biomass Carbon Removal and Storage (BiCRS) company. It shoots poop, and other end-of-life organic waste products that otherwise would have decomposed, into underground wells.

Vaulted Deep agreed to sequester 152,480 tons of carbon dioxide by 2027 following agreements with Autodesk, H&M, JP Morgan Chase, and many other giants. It’s equivalent to taking around 36,000 gas-guzzling cars off the road for a year.

Who knew organic waste could be so captivating?

Confidently maximise your climate impact

These updates are just a few snippets of the impact climate projects have. However, only high quality climate projects can accelerate net zero. This is why Lune filters out 80-90% of certified projects.
