“Sometimes you just have to ask yourself: ‘If I don’t do this, who will?’” So says Allister Furey, CEO and cofounder of Sylvera, who has been on a mission to reimagine carbon credits alongside cofounder Samuel Gill since 2020. When Furey first dug deeper into the world of carbon offsets, he found very little regulatory oversight and a strong commercial incentive to make untrue claims: “I knew that if we could create a rating that was accurate, independent and trusted, the market could grow at pace.” But Sylvera is more than just a rating agency for carbon — it is accelerating climate action. “Our customers make investments that turn into real action on the ground, changing lives, and helping preserve the environment,” says Furey. Supporting the pioneers tackling climate change is vital if we are to meet the global goal of reaching net zero by 2050, explains Nicole Shimer, principal at Insight Partners. “Allister cares about the issues, knows a ton about the space, and has built an incredible business that is helping to save the world.” Learn more about how Sylvera is helping organizations and governments get on track to net zero: https://lnkd.in/ezDpSrqR #venturecapital #founder #startup #climatetech

We aim to support innovative projects promoting circular economies. Our funding network not only supports emerging carbon removal initiatives but also prioritizes projects that generate lasting social and environmental benefits. "Collectively up to 10 GtCO2 will need to be removed annually from the atmosphere by 2050, which if funded properly would only take ten hyper-scale projects. By meeting this target the industry would satisfy the expected growth in demand for carbon credits from the hard to abate sectors and help solve the climate crisis in the process." https://lnkd.in/e8-Qthpg Gavin Anderson FCIM Tom Frith Juan Puente #carbonremoval #carbonfunding #projectdevelopers #biochar #seaweed #CO2removal #investmentstrategies

Absolutely *pumped* to join Greenlyte Carbon Technologies on a mission to directly capture CO2 from the atmosphere! This is certainly the most efficient and fastest solution against global warming. I have been incredibly impressed by how much the 3 founders 🌱🌎 Florian Hildebrand, Dr. Niklas Friederichsen and Peter Behr have accomplished in a few months. Not only their approach is incredibly smart with the highest thermal efficiency on the market (hands down) but it also produces green CO2, O2 and H2 as by-products ready for industrial processes (the sale of which contributes to significantly lower the cost per ton of C02 removed from the atmosphere). And it sells! The first deployment in Canada is scheduled for early 2025, with many more in negotiations! Thrilled to be investing in their 10.5M€ Pre-Series A round alongside Earlybird Venture Capital, Green Generation Fund and Carbon Removal Partners (Clean) sky is the limit! https://lnkd.in/dBJ6QgsG

The Voluntary Carbon Market is a critical market driving the world to achieve #netzero goals by 2050 with a tremendous potential size: estimated as large as $50B by 2050! The panel at last night's event "Demystifying the Voluntary Carbon Markets" with Jason Rubottom of Cloverly, Zach Marchlik of UPS, David Priddy of ClimeCo & Jennifer Singh of the ATDC explored many of the important aspects of the voluntary carbon markets that is ripe for pivotal innovation across many dimensions incl. technology, policy, business model, etc. It was great to hear Jason Rubottom, CEO at Georgia's own rockstar start-up Cloverly, share his thoughts and insights about the market dynamics, opportunities and obstacles. Zach Marchlik and David Priddy provided great insight into the market from the perspective of corporate buyers and solution providers. The growing Voluntary Carbon Market is a huge opportunity for local companies to lead innovation and an important tool for all organizations to achieve sustainability goals. Here some more details: Companies can purchase two different types of credits in the voluntary market offset their greenhouse gas emissions: + avoidance credits for external projects that avoid or reduce emissions production, such as building a wind farm. + removal credits for projects that lower existing emissions. Removal projects include either nature-based solutions (e.g. afforestation, planting trees in previously unforested areas) or technology-based solutions (e.g. renewable energy generators). In 2021, the voluntary carbon market grew at a record pace, reaching $2 billion (that's 4x the value over 2020). With the accelerated pace, the market is expected to reach between $10 billion and $40 billion by 2030.
