Skymining: Changing the CO2 Narrative While Regenerating the Earth

Imagine if there was a way to turn back the clock on climate change.

Family Office

RITOSSA Family Office represents the distillation of six hundred years of history — of a grove, a family and a region. The gnarled roots of the Ritossa olive groves have persevered through war and natural disasters, through changes of climate and country, and under the rule of warrior princes, wealthy merchant kings and modern despots. Mr. Ritossa has over 30 years of international financial markets and investment experience. Prior to his family office role Mr. Ritossa was recognised for his distinguished Wall Street career having held senior executive positions at Nomura, Barclays Capital, Morgan Stanley, BNP Paribas, Deutsche Bank, and Bankers Trust Australia. He is known for contrarian and thematic investments that have included the U.S. Subprime Crisis, the European Sovereign Debt and Banking Crisis, and various strategic private equity, real estate and blockchain allocations. Mr. Ritossa is a frequent speaker at various international investment conferences, serves as the Chairman of the European Union Sovereign & Investment Advisory Board, and sits on a number of other advisory boards. RITOSSA Family Office hosts Global Family Office Summits in locations such as Monaco, Dubai and Miami that bring together the world’s leading experts to discuss and debate actionable strategies for generating returns. Facilitated by family offices for family offices, the Summits provide two days of private peer-to-peer conversation, networking and cross-border thought leadership, designed to make substantial families think about what to look out for, how you are investing and why. More than 300 Elite Family Offices, Prominent Conglomerate Business Owners, Sheikhs, Royal Families, Private Investment Companies, Sovereign Wealth Funds and industry professionals from across the Middle East and around the globe attended the recent Dubai forum, representing over $2 trillion in investor wealth, and was under the Patronage of His Highness Sheikh Tahnoon Bin Saeed Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan. The next event will be the 6th Global Family Office Investment Summit as an invitation-only private forum in Monaco at the Le Meridien Beach Plaza Resort Hotel, June 27-29, 2018 under the High Patronage of His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco.

Imagine if there was a way to turn back the clock on climate change. Try to envision our planet with less atmospheric carbon dioxide, more clean energy and a solution to combat global warming. Thanks to SkyMining, a Stockholm, Sweden-based renewable energy company, this is now possible.

Creating a clean replacement for fossil fuels has been a challenge historically and SkyMining’s impact on our world is truly life changing. As background, consider that three things need to happen to stop global warming:

  1. Replace the existing uses of fossil fuels
  2. Remove CO2 from the atmosphere
  3. End deforestation and soil erosion

By tackling all three of these challenges simultaneously, SkyMining is scalable and profitable enough to stop global warming. The company’s systems reverse carbon flow by sending carbon from the atmosphere back to the earth. This produces carbon negative fuel, food and fibers while restoring degraded ecosystems, thereby restoring marginal land and creating clean energy.

SkyMining’s fuel may be used as a substitute for oil, gas and coal in electricity production— all while exploiting the existing infrastructure for combustion. This keeps costs low, provides a means to safely kick fossil fuel addiction, and provides heat without sacrificing economic growth. No carbon dioxide is emitted and the fuel costs less than fossil fuels and charcoal. By replacing charcoal, the harmful deforestation process is slowed.

Additionally, SkyMining works with companies and individuals to physically remove their CO2 emissions from the atmosphere and turn them into fuel that can be sold profitably in the world energy markets.

With SkyMining, every transaction slows global warming. Every transaction with a carbon footprint is automatically SkyMined for harmful emissions that are removed from the sky. This has the potential to revolutionize environmental stewardship and social change by attaching them directly to consumerism.

Tackling global challenges is no easy task — yet SkyMining is doing the right thing and doing it profitably.
