About Lithos

Lithos Carbon revolutionizes the carbon capture industry through enhanced rock weathering technology. We work with farmers to spread basalt rock on farmland, which increases soil health and repurposes post-industrial waste. Our technology is aimed at removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere at a fraction of the cost of other methods, while helping farmers improve crop yields. Our team is made up of industry-leading academic scientists and proven entrepreneurs, and we are backed by top-tier investors including Bain Capital Ventures, Union Square Ventures, Lowercarbon Capital, and Greylock Partners. We started commercializing the technology in 2022 and have signed customers for our permanent carbon removal credits including Microsoft, Stripe, Alphabet, Shopify, and McKinsey’s Frontier program. You can read about our work in FastCompany and on our blog.

  • Document Media and Record Data: Take photos and videos of deployments. Record operational data as needed by the science, accounting, or operations teams.
