Whirlpool Secures Diversified Carbon Removal Portfolio Through ClimeFi

Whirlpool Corporation has secured a diversified portfolio of durable carbon removal through ClimeFi, a portfolio manager for carbon removal and sustainable aviation fuel certificates. The agreement combines firm offtake commitments guaranteeing a steady supply of carbon removal with standalone options allowing Whirlpool to reserve access to additional volume in future at a fixed price, spanning four suppliers across marine carbon dioxide removal, biogenic carbon capture and storage, enhanced weathering, and biochar: CREW Carbon in the US, Gevo in the US, InPlanet in Brazil, and Liferaft in the US.

Beyond technological diversification, the release states the four projects reflect ties to Whirlpool's own business and geographic footprint, with emphasis on supporting rural and farming communities in the United States and Brazil, markets where the company notes close to 90 percent of its approximately $16 billion in 2025 net sales occurred.

Whirlpool Enterprise Sustainability Manager Samantha Truesdell described the commitment as "an exciting step in a strategy several years in the making," saying the portfolio reflects "Whirlpool Corporation's unique and progressive approach to decarbonization and environmental sustainability." ClimeFi CEO and co-founder Paolo Piffaretti said the structure reflects "a shift in how corporations think about carbon removal procurement," noting "firm offtakes give Whirlpool Corporation certainty of delivery, while the standalone options give them the flexibility to secure more volume later, on their own terms."
