Company mission

To reduce carbon emissions by gigatonnes.

Our take

Industrial processes account for around one quarter of the world’s carbon emissions. It’s a problem that Carbon Re (short for Reduce, Remove, Revolution) is trying to solve by intertwining AI and sustainability expertise.

The company is a spinout of University College London and Cambridge University, and uses AI analysis to gauge its customers carbon emissions during the production of material like cement, steel, and glass, and in turn identify more sustainable means of production without further expenditure. With this, the company claims it can save customers millions every year.

The company has attracted significant interest, and with financial backing from Albion VC and THe Clean Growth Fund, it's off to an exciting start. By teaming up with industry giants like Heidelberg Materials and FLSmidth Cement, Carbon Re is already making impressive strides and the future looks incredibly bright for the company.
