Company mission
To remove 1 billion tonnes of carbon a year.
Our take
Global industries are facing increasing pressure to decarbonise their operations by 2050, in order to fulfil net-zero commitments. One essential strategy for offsetting unavoidable emissions is through carbon removals. However, despite the urgency and necessity to reach net-zero targets, the carbon removal industry is still in its early stages and faces challenges that discourage companies from investing in carbon removal portfolios.
CUR8, a climate startup headquartered in London, is building the tools to professionalise and accelerate the carbon removal industry. The platform facilitates the purchase of carbon removal credits from suppliers and constructs carbon removal portfolios that integrate a range of strategies and methods. Although its assets are somewhat pricey, CUR8 hopes to bring its price down over time as the industry expands, ensuring accessibility for companies of all sizes.
With early backing from sources such as Google Ventures, CUR8 has been investing in growing its team, scaling up capacity and further developing its platform. With ambitious plans for growth, the company is set up well to help solve the challenges posed by the current climate crisis.
