44.01
57Mixed / Improving· ProvisionalOman-founded carbon mineralisation company permanently sequestering CO₂ by injecting it into peridotite rock; 2022 Earthshot Prize winner and XPRIZE Carbon Removal finalist.
Why it's on ClimateTicker
44.01 is a genuinely novel deep-removal company whose core technology — accelerating CO₂ mineralisation in peridotite rock to produce permanent, solid-mineral sequestration in under 12 months — addresses a real and hard-to-fake climate need. The underlying science is credible and backed by Columbia University researchers, Earthshot Prize judges, and XPRIZE evaluators, but the company remains pre-commercial at pilot scale with no independent third-party MRV of tonnes actually sequestered published to date. Investors should treat the technology thesis as sound but the impact claims as unverified at any material scale.

Controversy & Greenwashing Watch
44.01's scale-up partnership with ADNOC (Abu Dhabi National Oil Company) to deploy mineralisation in the UAE could create reputational and mission-integrity tension, as ADNOC is one of the world's largest oil producers and may use carbon removal to justify continued fossil fuel extraction.source ↗
The company publicly targets 1 billion tonnes of CO₂ by 2040 while current demonstrated capacity is in the hundreds-of-tonnes range, creating a credibility gap that is unmitigated by any published independent MRV or verified progress milestones.source ↗
