Very grateful to be part of @homeworld.bsky.social #GreenhouseGas Removal Garden Grant 2025 cohort. www.homeworld.bio/grants-green... We will characterise #methane degrading bacteria in tree #phyllospheres to advance understanding of a potentially globally important methane sink. #methanotrophs

We're excited to share that we're deploying ~$1.4M to 11 groundbreaking teams through our Greenhouse Gas Removal Garden Grants! Funded projects span from methane-eating microbes on tree surfaces to bio-enhanced rock weathering. See the full announcement: www.homeworld.bio/blog/announc...

Plastic → perfume? On the new Climate Biotech Podcast episode, César Ramírez-Sarmiento shares how his lab uses Antarctic enzymes to break down plastic at low temps and turn it into high value products, like fragrances, that fit Latin America's market needs. 🎧 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

📣 Big news from Homeworld: We’ve published over 50 problem statements from proposals submitted to our second Garden Grants program, focused on greenhouse gas removal.

Every technology starts with a techno-economic analysis (TEA) - a basic financial model that bridges ideas with practical feasibility. More than the financial sense, it shows that the innovator knows HOW your invention would become something in the real world. www.homeworld.bio/blog/the-uni...

During the Garden Grants: Greenhouse Gas Removal (GHGR) application window, we will share a series of problem statements describing priority challenges identified by thought leaders in biological GHGR. Today’s focus: Using microbes to speed up mineral weathering for carbon removal.

During the application window for Garden Grants, we will share a series of problem statements describing priority challenges in biological GHGR. We welcome proposals targeting these problems! Todays focus: unlocking the enzyme particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO) for methane removal technology.

The Garden Grants application window is officially open! We’re offering $50k-$150k grants (up to $1M total) to support de-risking ideas that intersect biology and greenhouse gas removal. The application window closes 2/28. Apply here: www.homeworld.bio/grants-green...

🌱 Garden Grants is back — this round focused on GHGR. Homeworld Collective is excited to launch our second Garden Grants program, offering $50k-$150k grants (up to $1M total) to de-risk innovative ideas intersecting biotechnology and GHGR. 📌 Learn more: www.homeworld.bio/grants-green...
