Tradewater’s mission is to find and destroy refrigerants and other gases with warming potential up to 10,000 times that of carbon dioxide. They work worldwide to find these gases, purchase them, and then destroy them. Priced at $15 per ton of CO2 removed, Tradewater offers one of the most attractive combinations of price and certainty.
Also see the new family planning charity Family Empowerment Media, just incubated by Charity Entrepreneurship. Charity Entrepreneurship included externalities on animal welfare and climate change in their report, and it looks very cost-effective on both counts, although Family Empowerment Media has roughly no track record, since it was just started. From their report:
We found that this intervention has two kinds of externalities. It positively affects climate change, averting 4.3 tonnes of CO2 emissions per dollar spent. It also positively affects animal welfare, with 588 welfare points gained per dollar spent.
I don’t know if they took climate policy and clean tech projections into account, which Founders Pledge has argued for in their reports.

Hey Michael, thanks for pointing out those two externalities for that family planning intervention! Those two makes me even more positive about family planning interventions then. I think $0.23/​tonne of CO2 is pretty cost-effective.
Thought I’d mention a few things:
Giving Green, a new intitiative at IDInsight incubated by Charity Entrepreneurship, has some recommendations, too:
