The Frontier will total the demand to determine the annual expense. Buyers choose how much they wish to spend on carbon reduction each year between 2022 and 2030 as the company will establish a complete annual demand pool to combine all the commitments.
Furthermore, Frontier will inspect vendors and simplify the acquisition of carbon removal products. The carbon will then be removed by providers, who will resell tons to purchasers. Suppliers will be compensated when tons of carbon are removed.
Meta believes that by working together to identify and scale technologies with the highest long-term carbon removal potential, they can help speed up the solutions required to fulfill global climate targets.
Collaboration with internationally recognized groups, including charities, businesses, and civil society, is critical to its sustainability approach and making an impact. Frontier aims to encourage other companies to participate in order to form a healthy sustainable market in the future.
Contributors believe that investing in this program will help firms reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In other words, such a project would help not only companies to expand their market but even the human race and mother earth to survive.
