Who We Are

S3 Markets is on a mission to decarbonize the highest emitting, hardest to abate sectors of the global economy. By providing revenue subsidies to radically decarbonized commodity producers, we aim to create market tipping points to catalyze the transition to a net-zero economy.

These EACs are within the value-chain, aggregated and focused on the highest-leverage intervention points, and provide immediate, permanent reductions in CO2e.
