Terradot
Terradot is a Carbon Removal (CDR) company founded in 2022 and based in San Francisco, United States. It has raised $58M in total funding, most recently a Series A in 2024.
Terradot was founded in 2022 by Stanford scientists and entrepreneurs, including CEO James Kanoff and Chief Scientific Advisor Scott Fendorf, and operates from San Francisco and São Paulo. It sources basalt from quarries in southern Brazil and spreads it on nearby farms, where the rock reacts with rainwater to convert atmospheric CO2 into bicarbonate. It measures removal through soil sampling before and after application, works with Brazil's agricultural research agency EMBRAPA, and runs projects in Brazil and the United States. Revenue comes from carbon removal credits sold under offtake agreements with buyers including Google, Frontier, Microsoft and J.P. Morgan. Terradot raised a $58 million Series A led by John Doerr in December 2024, with participation from Microsoft's Climate Innovation Fund, Google, Kleiner Perkins and others. It acquired rock weathering developer Eion in February 2026, and on October 27, 2026 it closed a $34 million investment from HASI for its carbon removal projects.
Terradot develops enhanced rock weathering at farm scale, with more than 20,000 hectares treated and more than 1.4 million tonnes of removal contracted by October 2026. In September 2026 it and Google announced a southern Brazil project pairing 1 million tonnes of removal by 2040 with 1 million tonnes of methane impact by 2030 across more than 200,000 hectares of rice farms. Frontier buyers committed $27 million in December 2024 for 90,000 tonnes delivered from 2025 to 2029.
