InPlanet

InPlanet is an innovative ClimateTech company dedicated to the mission of removing massive amounts of CO₂ from the atmosphere while regenerating tropical soils. Founded in August 2022 by Felix Harteneck and Niklas Kluger, two visionary entrepreneurs with a passion for sustainable agriculture and environmental protection, InPlanet has made a significant impact on tropical agriculture and climate protection in just two years.

The mission of InPlanet is to enable farmers in the tropics to replace chemical fertilizers with natural rock powders to promote sustainable and low-carbon agriculture. The company is driven by the belief that the Earth can only remain livable if we remove massive amounts of CO₂ while regenerating soils to create nutritious food and healthy ecosystems for future generations[2][3].

InPlanet focuses on the technology of Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW). This method accelerates the natural process in which silicate rocks react with water and CO₂, leading to the formation of dissolved bicarbonate that eventually reaches the oceans and becomes carbon-rich sediments. By applying rock powder to agricultural land, InPlanet improves soil health, reduces the use of chemical fertilizers, and effectively removes CO₂ from the atmosphere[2][3][5].

InPlanet has already achieved significant milestones:

• Rock Powder Application: By early 2024, 50,000 tons of rock powder will have been applied to agricultural land, with the goal of reaching 200,000 tons by the end of the year[1].
• Funding: The company has raised 5.6 million euros in an oversubscribed seed round from leading impact, climate, and deep-tech investors[1][5].
• Team and Culture: InPlanet has a remote-first, people-centered team with representatives from 15 nationalities and a strong focus on an industry-leading organizational culture[1][2].

InPlanet works closely with farmers and agricultural communities in the tropics to demonstrate and scale the benefits of rock weathering. The partnerships focus on improving soil health, reducing the use of chemical fertilizers, and effective CO₂ removal, leading to higher productivity and more sustainable agriculture[2][3][5].

InPlanet is committed to scaling its mission globally and achieving measurable impact on climate change. By combining scientific accuracy, transparency, and excellence, the company positions itself as a leader in carbon removal and sustainable agriculture. InPlanet's work goes beyond mere CO₂ removal and includes strengthening local economies and providing nutritious food through healthy and fertile soils[2][3][5].

InPlanet is a shining example of how innovation, sustainability, and a deep sense of responsibility come together to create a livable future for all.
