Patrick Collison observed that in 2018, there were virtually no carbon removal companies in the world.

Even if we decarbonize the economy on the most optimistic timeframes, there'll still be an accumulated stock of carbon, which will be a problem. It sounded pretty weird, that there were virtually no carbon removal companies in the world in 2018.
