Flux

What Flux does

Flux is a privately held carbon-removal company (Flux Carbon Pte Ltd, incorporated in Singapore, headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya) that removes atmospheric CO2 through enhanced rock weathering (ERW). The core technical approach crushes silicate minerals into powder and spreads it across farmland, where reactions with rainwater, groundwater, and air accelerate the natural formation of stable bicarbonate compounds that sequester carbon for approximately 10,000 years. Measurement and verification are delivered through soil and pore water sampling combined with earth science models, and all credits are issued and tracked under Isometric's Enhanced Rock Weathering Protocol.

The company sells verified carbon removal credits via a direct enterprise sales motion to large, climate-focused corporate buyers including Frontier, Stripe, Google, Shopify, H&M, Klarna, and Milkywire, on a per-tonnage basis aligned with each buyer's carbon accounting. A second operating layer, the Social Impact Program, supplies the same silicate powder as free fertilizer to smallholder farmers in Kenya and partner territories, with field trials on 31 Kisumu County farms showing a 71.2% average yield uplift and roughly $326 per hectare in additional farmer income per harvest.

Flux's strategic posture combines revenue-generating credit sales with an ecosystem-buildout model: the company acts as a founding member of Carbon Removal Kenya and provides scientific and data-science expertise to quarries, industrial companies, and governments across Africa, exemplified by a 200,000-hectare partnership with African Food Security in Cameroon targeting up to 1 million tonnes of CO2 removal. The company was founded in 2023, operates with 11-50 employees, and entered the Africa Carbon Removal Accelerator cohort in April 2025.

Revenue model

1. Carbon Removal Credits: Flux sells carbon removal credits representing tonnes of CO2e removed through enhanced rock weathering operations and partnerships. Companies purchase credits to meet their net zero goals after reducing emissions as much as possible. The revenue finances more enhanced rock weathering activities and benefits African farmers.

Core offering

Flux (Flux Carbon Pte Ltd) removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by crushing silicate rocks into powder and spreading the powder on African farmland, where natural weathering reactions with rainwater, groundwater, and air accelerate the conversion of atmospheric CO2 into stable bicarbonate compounds. The company generates and sells scientifically validated carbon removal credits, verified by Isometric under its Enhanced Rock Weathering Protocol, to corporate buyers. Operations are based in Kenya with expansion into Cameroon through partnership with African Food Security.

Product overview

Flux operates as a unified carbon removal service centered on Enhanced Rock Weathering technology. The company crushes silicate rock into powder, spreads it on African farmland, and measures the resulting CO2 drawdown to generate verified carbon removal credits. Revenue comes from selling these credits to corporate buyers (Frontier, Klarna, Stripe, H&M, Google, Shopify, Milkywire). The Social Impact Program is integral—rock powder serves as free fertilizer for farmers, boosting yields while removing carbon. All credits are tracked on the Isometric Registry and verified against the Enhanced Rock Weathering Protocol.

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• African Food SecuritycoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerPartnership with African Food Security (AFS) on a 200,000-hectare sustainable farming project in Cameroon. The project will use Flux's silicate rock powder to fertilize fields, save fertilizer costs, and remove carbon through enhanced rock weathering. The project has potential to remove 1 million tonnes of atmospheric carbon dioxide over time.
• IsometriccoreTechnology or IntegrationIsometric is Flux's verification partner with the industry's most stringent standards for enhanced rock weathering. Isometric generates credits after confirming the process meets their Enhanced Rock Weathering Protocol. Credits are tracked on the Isometric Registry.
• Carbon Removal KenyacoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerFlux is a founding member of Carbon Removal Kenya, helping develop a thriving carbon removal ecosystem in Kenya, a country well-suited for enhanced rock weathering due to its ideal conditions.

Direct peers

• InPlanet: InPlanet is a tropical-focused enhanced rock weathering carbon removal developer operating primarily in Brazil. It is comparable to Flux as a regional ERW player in the Global South leveraging similar agronomic conditions, with overlapping target customers (voluntary corporate buyers).
• Lithos Carbon: Lithos Carbon is a leading enhanced rock weathering carbon removal developer operating across the US, applying silicate rock dust to agricultural fields. It is directly comparable to Flux on technology (ERW), buyer base (frontier voluntary buyers), and revenue model (verified carbon removal credits), differing primarily on operating geography (US vs. Africa).
• Terradot: Terradot is an enhanced rock weathering carbon removal developer that raised a $58M Series A in 2024 and operates across multiple tropical regions. It is a direct competitor to Flux on the ERW pathway and shares the Global South tropical-agriculture operating model.
• Eion Carbon: Eion Carbon is an enhanced rock weathering startup using olivine-based rock powder for carbon removal on farmland. It competes with Flux on the same technology pathway, similar agricultural co-benefits narrative, and similar buyer base of voluntary corporate offtakers.
• UNDO Carbon: UNDO Carbon is an enhanced rock weathering company spreading basalt rock dust on agricultural land to remove CO2. It is a direct competitor to Flux using the same fundamental technology pathway and serving overlapping voluntary corporate carbon credit buyers.
• 44.01: 44.01 is an Oman-based carbon mineralization company that accelerates natural CO2 mineralization of peridotite. It is a close adjacent peer to Flux because both rely on silicate rock chemistry for permanent CO2 storage, though 44.01 focuses on mineralization of injected CO2 rather than open-field weathering.

Broad incumbents

• Climeworks: Climeworks is the largest direct air capture operator globally, serving both voluntary and compliance buyers with engineered DAC. As a category leader it competes for the same corporate offtake budgets (Frontier, Stripe, Shopify, Microsoft) that Flux relies on, though with a fundamentally different technology and cost structure.
• Heirloom Carbon Technologies: Heirloom is a well-capitalized DAC technology company using limestone to capture atmospheric CO2. It competes with Flux for the same premium voluntary CDR buyer pool (Frontier and corporate offtakers), but operates an engineered, non-agricultural pathway that captures share of premium demand.

Emerging players

• CarbonCure Technologies: CarbonCure is a Canadian carbon mineralization company that injects captured CO2 into concrete during production. It is comparable to Flux as a mineral-based carbon removal developer, sharing the chemistry of converting CO2 into stable mineral carbonates, but with a different delivery mechanism (industrial concrete vs. agricultural soils).
• Boomitra: Boomitra is a soil carbon removal developer operating across multiple continents using regenerative agriculture and satellite-based MRV. It is comparable to Flux on the agricultural soil carbon pathway and Global South smallholder farmer engagement model, though it relies on soil organic carbon rather than rock weathering chemistry.
