Removing CO₂ from the atmosphere is critical to counteract climate change, but it’s behind. A fraction of every purchase from Francois Hurtaud Studio helps new carbon removal technologies scale.

WHY WE CONTRIBUTE

We believe businesses can play a critically important role in helping fight climate change. We’re proud to fund next-generation carbon removal.

Francois Hurtaud Studio is part of Stripe Climate, a coalition of businesses accelerating carbon removal

We support a portfolio of emerging technologies that remove CO₂ from the atmosphere

Stripe Climate works with a multidisciplinary group of scientific experts to find and evaluate the most promising carbon removal technologies. Below are two examples from our broader portfolio.

Climeworks uses renewable geothermal energy and waste heat to capture CO₂ directly from the air, concentrate it, and permanently sequester it underground in basaltic rock formations with Carbfix. Climeworks will remove 322 tons of CO₂ on behalf of Stripe Climate businesses.

Charm Industrial has created a novel carbon removal pathway that converts biomass into bio-oil and then injects it deep underground for permanent geologic storage. Stripe Climate was Charm’s first customer. In 2021, Charm removed 416 tons of CO₂ on behalf of Stripe Climate businesses.

WHY IT WORKS

Early customers can help new technologies get down the cost curve and scale up

Most new technology is expensive at first. Early adopters like Francois Hurtaud Studio help promising new carbon removal technologies lower their costs and scale up quickly.

Sustainable Design

François Hurtaud

François Hurtaud begun his design career in 2008 as a studio designer after graduating from Masters Degree in Advanced Studies in Cross-cultural Design at Shanghai University and a Bachelor in Industrial Design at L’Ecole de Design de Nantes in France.

Hurtaud then headed the design force for several consumer goods companies where he demonstrates his understanding of the power of social and sustainable design, cross-cultural and the precarious balance of function and form in luxury design and production.

Since his childhood, Hurtaud has always had the passion for art, science and technology; passions that he cultivated and improved through formal educations and apprenticeship in design. Having the chance of working in different countries, agencies and companies, exploring multitude aspects of designs, he now thinks of design as an equation, trying to find creative solutions to balance between functionality & aesthetics, sustainability & profitability, viability & legitimacy. Hurtaud’s designs has received multiple international design awards and accolades, such as Good Design Award, Red Dot Design Award, German Design Award and A' Design Award.
