Meet the $15M Milestone Award Winners

and now let we comment this video / project by Elon Musk, but first let we share more details:

XPRIZE Carbon Removal is aimed at tackling the biggest threat facing humanity - fighting climate change and rebalancing Earth’s carbon cycle. Funded by Elon Musk and the Musk Foundation, this $100M competition is the largest incentive prize in history, an extraordinary milestone.‎

Team registration opened with the announcement of the full competition guidelines on Earth Day, April 22nd 2021. The competition will last for 4 years through Earth Day 2025.

To win the prize teams must demonstrate CO2 removal at the 1000 tonne per year scale, model costs at the million ton per year (megatonne) scale, and present a plan to sustainably reach gigatonne per year scale in future. In the first phase of the competition, teams must demonstrate the key component of their carbon removal solution, at a minimum.

The $100M prize purse will be distributed as follows:

After 1 year of competition the judges will review all submissions received by that time and award up to 15 Milestone Prizes of $1 million each.

After 4 years, judges will select the winners:

Bullet point
$50 million paid to the single Grand Prize Winner

Bullet point
$30 million to be distributed among up to 3 runners up

XPRIZE will also award up to US$5M to student teams in the Fall of 2021.

First at all, better doing something than nothing, but still doesn't mean that Elon Musk is really focused on climate change because
1) he own 246000 mio and wasted 4000 mio with Twitter! this means 0.04% of all money he owns or 2.5% of the money he wasted with Twitter, so it just ridiculous low https://perma.cc/Y2CF-HLUQ
2) Biden announced a $600 million investment to combat climate change | June 19, 2023 —> 6x more than Elon Musk, even if Biden did a great shit with the Willow Project
3) "Unlike most pure electric passenger cars, Tesla Model 3 not only has a GHG emissions higher than the average GHG emissions of same class ICEV in the raw material acquisition stage and production stage, but also has a GHG emissions value higher than the average GHG emissions of same class ICEV in the usage stage." from Carbon Footprint Study of Tesla Model 3

4) Conclusions from "Analysis of Electric Vehicles Efficiency and their Influence on Environmental Pollution"
5) "In the production of Tesla cars, more pollution is produced than when producing ICE cars, but considering the entire life cycle of the product, Tesla ́s overall GHG pollution is lower than any ICE car ... Another fact to consider is the source of energy used during the manufacturing process ... How can tesla be more sustainable? The use of Li-ion batteries must stop. Many universities and organisations are working to find a better solution, for example salt-based batteries. If Tesla cannot substitute the use of Li-ion batteries, it should invest in research in the topic, make the batteries recyclable and long lasting and find sustainable sources of lithium" from "How sustainable is Tesla? - University of South-Eastern Norway"
