Our Future in Your Hands

Climate Restoration Update, Donations & Investments

Dear Friends and Supporters,  

Realizing the vision of a safe climate for our grandchildren requires significant funding.

Thanks to your commitment and generosity, we successfully raised the funds needed to complete the first step: The Buoy Test (budget: around $80K).

While The Buoy Test enters its final stages, we are shifting our collective focus to our next milestone: the CRA OIF project.

To complete the project we’ll need to raise millions of dollars, which may come in the form of donations, investments or both.

To help us succeed, we are forming two groups:

The CRA Fundraising Committee will help develop and implement fundraising strategies to invite more people to contribute and ensure we have sufficient funds to support and grow our operations.

The Climate Restoration Investors Club will bring together forward-thinking impact investors dedicated to restoring the climate for their/our grandchildren, while generating meaningful financial returns. Members will gain access to curated, high-impact investment opportunities that drive meaningful change.

Founding members of this exclusive club will help design the ethical and practical principles of investments within the Climate Restoration Industry, where the mission always comes first, and profits are a second priority.

If you are interested in participating in or shaping either one of these initiatives, I invite you to connect with me at ilan.mandel@gcr.fund and we will schedule a time for a personal conversation.

Together, we can restore the climate for future generations!

With hope and determination,

How a Tiny Amount of Iron Could Reverse Climate Change

Can we restore the climate with a simple, cost-effective process? The math behind ocean iron fertilization (OIF) suggests we can.

In his postPeter Fiekowsky breaks down the astonishing efficiency of OIF—how adding a small amount of iron to specific parts of the ocean can trigger massive phytoplankton blooms that pull CO₂ from the atmosphere. The numbers are staggering:

Key Takeaways:

  1. 1 ton of iron can capture up to 200,000 tons of CO₂.
  2. OIF could scale up to remove 60 gigatons of CO₂ per year, enough to restore pre-industrial levels.
  3. The 1991 eruption of Mt. Pinatubo unintentionally demonstrated OIF’s potential when volcanic ash triggered a phytoplankton bloom, leading to a measurable cooling effect.

At the Climate Restoration Alliance (CRA), we focus on science-backed, scalable solutions that don’t just slow climate change but reverse it. OIF is one of the most promising tools we have to achieve that goal.
