The Virgin Earth Challenge is not currently accepting new applications.

The Virgin Earth Challenge is US$25 million for whoever can demonstrate to the judges' satisfaction a commercially viable design which results in the net removal of anthropogenic, atmospheric greenhouse gases so as to contribute materially to the stability of the Earth's climate system.

Thank you to everyone who has sent in applications, this round of the Virgin Earth Challenge has now closed. The deadline for applications was on the 8th of January 2010. We have been undertaking a major review of the existing entries and the science, the social, environmental and governance issues associated with carbon sequestration. As many of you know, 2009 and 2010 has seen a lot of healthy debate on these issues around removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and our initiative naturally needs to reflect these developments.
