Major recognition to biochar today as the EU Innovation Fund just awarded 13 MEUR to CRUDA to produce biocarbon from recycled woodwaste for the metallurgic industry to push out fossil coal as feedstock. Our portfolio company Standard Bio started this initiative with its new pyrolysis technology and focus on making specific product applications of biochar. Partnering with large recycler Mana (owned by NG Group) to create Cruda in a push to decarbonise the metals industry that accounts for 7 % of the global emissions. First of a kind plant planned for 2026 - watch this space.

We return from The Drop full of inspiration and gratitude. Thank you Hampus Jakobsson, Pale blue dot and Domino Studio teams and everyone else who made the event such a fantastic experience - from side events, Ripple discussions and serendipitous encounters in the queue for coffee - it was great to connect with old and new friends in the climate community! Thank you to all who engaged in our Ripple on funding climate hardware technology scaling - special shout-out to Adele Unneberg's co-hosts Anniken Hofgaard of Ferd Impact Investing and Benjamin Ruben of Breakthrough Energy Catalyst. Our takeaways: 🛠️ Commit to developing, owning and operating your First-Of-A-Kind plant (regardless of your envisioned end-state business model) 👷 Ensure you have the right organizational structure and capabilities in place to realize your FOAK: Appoint a project owner (a role likely to be best suited for someone other than the CEO or CTO) and get your CFO sights set on project bankability ⚙️ Lock design parameters and engage stakeholders early to understand the needs of feedstock providers, offtakers, infrastructure investors and banks - the road to binding agreements will take time, dialogue and iterations 🤝 There are forward-leaning corporates out there who are willing to be a part of your FOAK realization - look to them for site access, commercial agreements and plant investment (JVs can be a nice format) We look forward to keep engaging with founders, investors and strategics alike as we continue to refine our investment thesis on the topic - reach out and let's get scaling!

Thrilled to announce our latest investment in XO Life’s oversubscribed €7m funding round! Huge congratulations to Dr. Friderike Bruchmann and her team! We are excited to tackle this next chapter alongside the full XO Life team and our co-investors Grazia Equity, Vi Partners and Bayern Kapital. Digital tools are opening up a host of new opportunities in healthcare, including personalized health education & recommendations, continuous real-world monitoring of treatment efficacy & symptoms, and more. Today, patients’ first step is often to jump online, searching for their own information and sharing experiences about their illnesses and medications on social media platforms. As an alternative, XO Life has created a meta-platform for digital patient companions to improve patient education & support, encourage better medication adherence, and capture patient reported outcomes. The platform involves healthcare professionals and industry players to provide verified medical information, personalized to patients’ needs and specific medications.

Congratulations to ClimateView on another great achievement!
ICLEI USA and ClimateView announce their intention to partner to create next-generation technology solutions for city planning, investment, and implementation. This partnership harnesses the potential of integrating the capabilities of ICLEI USA’s climate planner tool (ClearPath) with the ClimateView platform. Released to California local governments in 2013 and nationally in 2014, ICLEI’s ClearPath software is the industry-leading climate inventory and modeling tool used by more than 900 U.S. local and regional governments. “A partnership with ClimateView allows us to develop a platform 2.0 with an improved user interface and access to new features, including public dashboards for stakeholder engagement, as well as the potential to leverage artificial intelligence" says Angie Fyfe, Executive Director of ICLEI USA.

Congratulations to Antec on signing a feedstock agreement with fish- and livestock farming operators to turn their waste into renewable energy and fertilizer at Malm Biogass - an important step towards FID and plant realization!
Antec signerer historisk feedstock avtale for Malm Biogass anlegget. 🌱 Vi er glade for å kunngjøre at Antec har signert en avtale om feedstock med SalMar Settefisk og Beitstadfjord SiSu! 🎉 Dette samarbeidet er et unikt eksempel på blå-grønn symbiose mellom fiskeoppdrett, landbruk og biogassbransjen. 🤝 Samarbeid er nøkkelen til suksess, og dette partnerskapet vil bidra til å redusere klimagassutslippene med imponerende 30.000 tonn CO2 årlig. Samtidig vil det produsere verdifull energi og gjødsel, noe som gir bærekraftige fordeler for lokalt miljø og alle involverte parter. 🌍 Malm Biogass er det første prosjektet av denne typen, og vi håper det vil inspirere flere industriparker og kommuner til å følge etter. Sammen kan vi skape en grønnere fremtid og en mer bærekraftig verden. Takk til våre partnere og alle som støtter denne viktige reisen. La oss fortsette å samarbeide for å gjøre en positiv forskjell! 💚 Se mediaomtale: https://lnkd.in/dwCvh2X3 https://lnkd.in/dfQAMheM #AntecBiogas #Antec #SalMar #SalMarSettefisk #BeitstadfjordSiSu #Bærekraft #GrønnEnergi #Biogass #BlåGrønnSymbiose #Klimagassreduksjon #Samarbeid #MalmBiogass #BærekraftigFremtid
