This April, Arctic Reflections will conduct a field test, pumping Arctic sea water over the sea ice near Svalbard (Spitsbergen). The startup aims to prevent further summer ice shrinkage with this seemingly simple technique. Arctic Reflections (AR) is one of the bold protégés of CarbonFix, the Dutch catalyst for significant climate solutions who provides financial support…
CarbonFix was the first to see the potential of Arctic Reflections in 2023. The idea of thickening Arctic ice, by pumping water through boreholes in winter and allowing it to freeze, fits seamlessly with CarbonFix’s mission: to financially support moonshot climate solutions in their very first phase.

"Geo-engineering" is "hot". Should we spray polar ice? Eliminate CO2 with sand? Opinions vary: is it necessary? Is it even desirable?
VPRO’s Tegenlicht explores these questions in the newly launched series 'Planet Coolers'. The main roles are for two start-ups we support: Vesta, PBC and Arctic Reflections.Important that the debate is held. For us as…
AMR, the science-based project backed by CarbonFix, is achieving promising results. The Swiss company develops technology to remove methane from the atmosphere.
Methane accounts for 33% of global warming. “It is much easier and cheaper to remove than CO2. Estimated costs are €8 billion a year with 0.5 of the necessary 1.5 degrees’ global cooling…
