Really cool and congrats on the launch! I wonder, how resource intensive is it to develop your supply chain and produce these trees? I wonder if you’ve thought about or quantified what the resource cost is upfront - surely there are energy and transportation needs to make a tree?
Luckily, the US plants 1.6B trees a year. The world already knows how to scale up very similar supply chains to what we need to propagate Living Carbon seedlings. We work with a large scale nursery that produces over 300M trees a year right now and they are increase their greenhouse capacity for us. You're correct in needing to include the emissions from planting in how we do our lifecycle carbon analysis. Once upon a time we tried to drive the seedlings up to a planting site in a Model X and it was quite the hassle. Needless to say we need a Remora enable truck or electric truck.
Cool idea and best of luck.
