About Carbon Atlantis Decarbonizing the air with a breakthrough electrolyzer technology for acid &amp; base production.&nbsp;
For decades, fossil fuels served as the backbone and feedstock of our economy &ndash; with the downside of polluting our atmosphere. We invert this equation by developing a cost-efficient and scalable electrochemical Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology. We capture CO2 from ambient air for either permanent storage or as a precursor for CO2-negative chemicals.
Non-thermal approaches for DAC rely on acids and bases. Bases efficiently bind CO2, while acids release it. In short, bases ❤️ and acids ❌ CO2. We have cracked the nut here by developing a breakthrough electrolyzer for acid/base regeneration, allowing us to deliver a scalable and cost-effective DAC process.
Getting to net zero requires drastic reductions in emissions. However, reductions alone won't be sufficient to achieve net zero. In addition, we need carbon capture solutions for hard-to-abate industries and carbon removal technologies to offset residual emissions. Direct Air Capture (DAC) plays a pivotal role as a permanent and verifiable carbon removal technology in the broader effort to reach net zero.&nbsp;
DAC needs to scale up to 1-2 gigatons (Gt) by 2050 to offset residual emissions from hard-to-abate industries and Scope 3 activities, such as flights. We assist our leading clients, including Shopify and Stripe, in reaching their net-zero objectives.&nbsp;
Beyond, our technology can be utilized for point-source capture in the aluminum industry.
&nbsp;
Some context to get us started
Join our pioneering team as one of the first twenty employees at Germany&rsquo;s hottest CO2 removal start-up!
We're currently looking for committed and passionate individuals who are eager to harness our technology to join the ride towards a carbon-free future: let's make history together!

ABOUT AMERICAN FORESTS: &nbsp;
American Forests is a national non-profit organization committed to creating healthy and resilient forests from cities to large landscapes, that deliver essential benefits for climate, people, water, and wildlife. We advance our mission through forestry innovation, place-based partnerships to plant and restore forests, and movement building. We envision a world in which the significant environmental, societal, and economic benefits of forests are fully realized and equitably available to all people. Established in 1875, American Forests is the oldest national non-profit conservation organization in the U.S. working to restore urban forests and forested landscapes.
American Forests is proud to be a diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible workplace. These are our shared values. We welcome individuals who bring a variety of backgrounds and experiences to be a part of our team to help make a difference individually and collectively as we work toward achieving our mission. We are committed to fostering an environment that is welcoming and respectful and provides opportunities for advancement and professional growth for every team member. We hope you find your future with us.
PROJECT SUMMARY: &nbsp;
America&rsquo;s forests are a critical natural climate solution. Reforestation/afforestation offers the most immediate and ample carbon removal solution. There are many opportunities for this in the U.S., with as much as 148 million acres suitable for reforestation (ReforestationHub.org). Yet, deployment of quality reforestation at scale has been limited by high upfront costs that are out of sync with the timeline for carbon removal.&nbsp;
American Forests&rsquo; Reforest America Carbon Program (RACP) is designed to address the financing challenges associated with reforestation/afforestation and advance the highest quality climate-adapted projects. Over the past year, American Forests has worked with landowners, forest carbon experts, carbon registries, and businesses to design RACP to help meet the country&rsquo;s growing reforestation needs.&nbsp;
We are currently developing a unique portfolio of climate-adapted reforestation projects with public land management agencies, Tribal Nations, and underserved private landowners who do not have access to the necessary funding to reforest severely burned lands in the western United States and other lands suitable for reforestation in other geographies throughout North America.
American Forests recently received a USFS grant to support the participation of federal recognized Tribal Nations, Native Hawaiian organizations and&nbsp;underserved private landowners, in emerging markets for resilient reforestation, or reforestation that is resilient to future climate changes and disturbances as well as future market and economic conditions. We are working to deliver the following outcomes: &nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Provide federally recognized Tribal Nations, Native Hawaiian organizations and underserved private landowners, with the technical and financial resources needed for implementing resilient reforestation projects. &nbsp;</li>
<li>Create new opportunities for Tribal Nations, Native Hawaiian organizations and underserved private landowners, to access new income streams and deploy climate-informed reforestation practices well suited to emerging markets for climate mitigation and resilience.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Engage with and provide technical assistance to Tribal Nations, Native Hawaiian organizations and underserved private landowners, about resilient reforestation and emerging markets for joint climate mitigation and adaptation.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Implement high-integrity resilient reforestation projects yielding biodiversity, water, climate, and cultural benefits.</li>
</ul>
To advance this work, American Forests is looking for a Director of the Reforest America Carbon Program to direct the continued development and implementation of the Reforest America Carbon Program, oversee contract negotiations with project suppliers and buyers, recruit and lead a team of RACP staff to efficiently originate, develop, and market high-quality RACP projects, and represent American Forests in a leadership role in related carbon initiatives including, but not limited to, a nascent U.S. Forest Carbon Coalition effort.&nbsp;
