We're proud to be included in HackSummit's list of 150+ startups scaling groundbreaking pathways to reduce emissions! 🙌 🌳 Click through to read about how Cultivo’s AI-driven platform identifies afforestation projects around the globe that have the highest regeneration potential, and then forecasts how much carbon would be removed over 30 years if that degraded area land were to be afforested," as explained by our Chief Strategy Officer and Co-Founder James Clifton. 🌍
100 Carbon Capture and Removal Startups to Scale Ups to Watch There’s no way we can get on track to reach our climate goals without drastically scaling up carbon capture and removal. Having now passed the point of going for avoidance and reduction vs. removals, it is clear we need both. And while there is no silver bullet to hitting net zero, a wide range of innovations are making great strides, including next gen Direct Air Capture (DAC), Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW), Afforestation and Ocean CO2 Removal. In the list includes: . Innovators in the Global South: Mexican biochar startup Húmica and Tierra Prieta, Kenyan BCR BIOSORRA and DAC startup Octavia Carbon, carbon-negative construction startup FORMWORK IO based in Hong Kong . Industry Scaleups: Climeworks, building the world’s largest DAC plant and Heirloom who built the US’ first commercial DAC plant .Recently funded startups: Ucaneo raising €6.75 million seed funding, Yama announcing $3 million seed funding, Graphyte securing $30 million Series A as well as Applied Carbon closing $21.5 million Series A 👉 Discover these 100 Carbon Capture and Removal Pioneers, as well as a full list of 156 startups and scaleups working in the space: https://lnkd.in/eVsdvxyj 👋 Ready to meet some of them IRL? Come and join us in New York at the HackSummit in December where we'll debate the pathways to scaling carbon capture and removal.
