Overview

MISSION We are on a mission to invest in technology and businesses that will reverse climate change by producing carbon-free power or mining the air for carbon dioxide and recycling once dangerous emissions into useful everyday products and valuable commodities. WHY WE EXIST While the possibilities for innovation are infinite, our planet’s resources are not. Rethinking energy and repurposing carbon dioxide became our obsession when we grasped carbon mining has the potential to benefit all life on Earth. We know the resilience and brilliance of the natural world and are harnessing the power of human genius and cutting-edge technology to help save it. We want to catalyze a new energy era creating an economic and conservation breakthrough, in our lifetime. WE DRIVE CHANGE BY 01. Mining C02 emissions from industrial plants or the air we breathe, and turning them into useful everyday products. 02. Pursuing industrial-scale carbon-free power 24-hours a day. 03. Boosting awareness and understanding of the greatest challenges facing humanity. WES EDENS | FOUNDER Fragile Earth is the brainchild of Wes Edens, the co-founder and co-CEO of Fortress Investment Group, founded in 1998 with $400 million in assets under management, and which he has grown to be $41 billion of assets as of 2018. Under his leadership, Fortress has built and owned businesses across transportation, power, infrastructure, real estate, healthcare, media and entertainment. He has a proven track record of building and operating solutions to some of the biggest challenges of our day. With Fragile Earth, Edens is laser-focused on creating a solution to arguably the greatest challenge of our lifetime: reversing climate change. Put simply, he wants to take carbon out of the air, where it’s dangerous, and turn it into valuable commercial products, where it’s not—saving the planet, and harnessing the power of the free market to get there.
