New Corporate Buyers Club to Unlock Financing for Carbon Removal Projects
Affiliate Disclosure
Hey fellow impactful ninja ?
You may have noticed that Impactful Ninja is all about providing helpful information to make a positive impact on the world and society. And that we love to link back to where we found all the information for each of our posts.
Most of these links are informational-based for you to check out their primary sources with one click.
But some of these links are so-called "affiliate links" to products that we recommend.
Why do we add these product links?
First and foremost, because we believe that they add value to you. For example, when we wrote a post about the environmental impact of long showers, we came across an EPA recommendation to use WaterSense showerheads. So we linked to where you can find them. Or, for many of our posts, we also link to our favorite books on that topic so that you can get a much more holistic overview than one single blog post could provide.
And when there is an affiliate program for these products, we sign up for it. For example, as Amazon Associates, we earn from qualifying purchases.
What do these affiliate links mean for you?
First, and most importantly, we still only recommend products that we believe add value for you.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission - but at no additional costs to you.
And when you buy something through a link that is not an affiliate link, we won’t receive any commission but we’ll still be happy to have helped you.
What do these affiliate links mean for us?
When we find products that we believe add value to you and the seller has an affiliate program, we sign up for it.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission (at no extra costs to you).
And at this point in time, all money is reinvested in sharing the most helpful content with you. This includes all operating costs for running this site and the content creation itself.
What does this mean for me personally?
You may have noticed by the way Impactful Ninja is operated that money is not the driving factor behind it. It is a passion project of mine and I love to share helpful information with you to make a positive impact on the world and society. However, it's a project in that I invest a lot of time and also quite some money.
Eventually, my dream is to one day turn this passion project into my full-time job and provide even more helpful information. But that's still a long time to go.

📰 The quick summary: South Pole is launching TechGen, a buyers’ club that pools corporate resources for large-scale carbon removal projects, helping overcome financing barriers while providing companies with access to high-quality carbon removals.
📈 One key stat: With the launch scheduled for 2026, the buyers’ club will secure long-term contracts across diverse carbon removal technologies, addressing one of climate finance’s biggest challenges.
💬 One key quote: “If we need to go far, we need to go together. We are proud to convene a buyers club of climate leaders who share our ethos and clarity on the need for action and impact,” said Daniel Klier, CEO of South Pole.
1️⃣ The big picture: South Pole is preparing to launch a significant new initiative called TechGen in 2026 that tackles a major obstacle in climate finance. This buyers’ club will allow corporations to pool their resources and collectively invest in large-scale carbon removal projects. By aggregating demand, the platform aims to unlock financing for various carbon removal technologies while helping companies manage risk and lower transaction costs. TechGen will focus on securing high-integrity, durable carbon removals through long-term contracts across a diversified portfolio of technologies.
2️⃣ Why is this good news: This collaborative approach offers a practical solution to scaling up carbon removal projects that might otherwise struggle to secure sufficient investment individually. Companies gain access to high-quality carbon removals without facing the risks and complexities of direct project investment. The pooled purchasing power creates economies of scale, potentially accelerating the development of nascent carbon removal technologies. For corporations working toward net-zero commitments, TechGen provides a credible pathway to incorporate carbon removal into their climate strategies. All credits will meet ICROA-endorsed standards, ensuring environmental integrity.
3️⃣ What’s next: South Pole will launch TechGen in 2026 with founding corporate members. The platform will facilitate annual project portfolios and multi-year commitments with an emphasis on technology-based carbon removal. Meanwhile, South Pole’s involvement with the similar NextGen CDR initiative will continue independently until its planned conclusion in 2030.
