These deals highlight the growing demand for carbon removal solutions as companies work toward net-zero goals and hedge against future price spikes, ensuring long-term profitability.
Investing in carbon removal today is a strategic financial decision for companies of all sizes, from family-owned businesses to large enterprises.
TikTok has committed to a multi-year partnership with Climeworks, integrating engineered and nature-based solutions into its carbon removal portfolio.Until 2030, Climeworks will remove 5,100 tons of CO₂ from the air for TikTok through Direct Air Capture, Biochar, and Reforestation.

Investing in carbon removal today is not just about sustainability—it’s a strategic financial decision. As industry standards evolve and carbon pricing mechanisms mature, companies securing long-term agreements can mitigate future price volatility.
Adrian Siegrist, Chief Commercial Officer at Climeworks, states: “The way companies approach carbon removal is different from two years ago. We see a new wave of buyers emerging, recognizing that early investments in high-quality solutions will pay off in the long run. Diversified carbon removal portfolios are becoming the new norm to increase delivery security and hedge against potential price spikes. Carbon removal may be intangible, but its financial impact will be black on white on the balance sheets of companies aiming for net zero.”

What sets Two Drifters apart is their pioneering approach: They factor the cost of carbon removal directly into their Cost of Goods Sold, creating a financial incentive to reduce emissions. Dr. Russ Wakeham, Co-Founder of Two Drifters, explains, “The more carbon we avoid through sustainable practices, the greater our margins become.” This integration of sustainability into their core business model underscores the economic viability of carbon removal.
