For the fourth webinar in the OpenAir Collective's 2026 Carbon Removal Challenge monthly webinar series, we're proud to present a panel with founders from two CDR startups, Greg Rau of Planetary Technologies (ocean alkalinity enhancement, Canada) and Silvia Pugliese of Norma (direct air capture, France). Hear about their journeys from academia, to founding, to prototyping, to demo plant (Planetary), to selling carbon removals to Milkywire (Norma) and Frontier (Planetary).
