Details were released this morning about the $100 million carbon capture innovation prize sponsored by @elonmusk and being organized and run by @xprize. The contest will be for direct carbon capture and will run for 4 years. https://t.co/Li9V3Z6CLj

Genuinely curious: Do folks think that giving 15 carbon removal teams $1M is better than giving a lot more money to a few teams with traction? Do we need lab-bench innovation here, engineering/scale-up or all of the above? https://t.co/tfN3GYyrFM

Innovation contests are important and I think we will use them much more in the coming years. This makes research on optimal contest design all the more exciting. https://t.co/wTFAJwmdgw
