One percent of Rocket Lab revenue is committed to permanent carbon removal, not offsets, and not renewable-energy credits against emissions already released.

Frontier purchase commitment by 2030
How it works
Stripe aggregates contributions from member businesses and buys removal through Frontier, its in-house team of science and commercial experts, as an advance market commitment. Pooling demand is the point: no single small firm can move a technology down the cost curve, but 25,000 of them can.
What the money buys
- Climeworks captures CO₂ directly from the air using geothermal and waste heat, then mineralises it underground in basalt with Carbfix.
- Charm Industrial converts biomass to bio-oil and injects it deep underground for permanent geologic storage. Stripe was Charm's first customer.
These are two examples from a broader portfolio of early-stage removal technologies, selected by Stripe's scientific reviewers. Rocket Lab chooses the commitment, not the projects.
