Why share problems openly?. Homeworld identified two critical gaps in the climate biotech space: risk-tolerant funding and limited interaction and collaboration among teams. Garden Grants addresses both issues by spotlighting the most urgent challenges and supporting the bold.

These problem statements pinpoint what researchers believe are the most critical challenges that biotech can solve in greenhouse gas removal. By sharing the problems transparently (while keeping proposed solutions confidential), we aim to foster cross-pollination of ideas,.

◾️Want to help shape this? We’re deciding whether to extend this AI-based TEA tool more generally. If you think a low-cost, AI-driven TEA can speed up your biotech journey, please let us know. Your feedback will guide us on whether to invest more resources into making this tool.

◾️Where are we now? We’ve wrapped up our prototype stage (read the report in our latest blog post) and are shifting our focus to biomining. Jesse and Jayme are spearheading a new TEA product specifically for biomining, and we’ll roll out a usable version soon.

At Homeworld, we have been prototyping an AI-driven TEA tool in order to help biotechnologists map their ideas to deployments. ◾️Why use AI? Currently, it costs $5k-$10k to even get a basic model started, but AI can deliver a solid starting point for a fraction of that.

Every technology starts with a techno-economic analysis (TEA) - a basic financial model that bridges ideas with practical feasibility. More than the financial sense, it shows that you (the innovator) knows HOW your invention would become something in the real world.

Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) has potential to accelerate CDR, but cost-effective scaling remains a challenge. Microbes could play a key role in ERW by increasing mineral dissolution rates, but our understanding of their mechanisms is limiting progress. Key challenges include:.
