The co-founder of a leading direct air capture startup has joined a carbon removal advocacy group.
Noah McQueen, who developed the process that Heirloom Carbon Technologies uses to pull CO2 from the atmosphere, is now the director of science and innovation at Carbon180, he announced Monday.
“In this role, I’ll be working to bridge cutting-edge science with policy design and market structure, helping ensure that carbon removal is rooted in rigor, equity, and accountability from the start,” McQueen wrote in a LinkedIn post. “That means shaping the standards, incentives, and frameworks needed to move beyond small pilots and toward real, measurable impact.”
McQueen, who lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, will work remotely for Carbon180, which is based in Washington.
