Company mission
To empower people and organisations to mitigate the climate crisis by removing CO2 from the atmosphere.
Our take
Founded in 2020, Carbonfuture takes a multipronged attack on the fight against climate change by integrating carbon tracking, third-party credit standards, and financing tools to create a toolkit for carbon removal within companies. Whilst other companies focus on single lines of carbon-reduction action, Carbonfuture’s end-to-end platform can be used by a variety of different companies to evolve their practices.
Carbon credits are a major part of Carbonfuture’s operations, and the market is expected to reach a value of $50 billion by 2030. It’s unsurprising then, that Germany-based Carbonfuture has received serious early VC funding, which it plans to use to expand its US market through 2023.
With many larger companies coming to the realisation that they must go external to up their carbon-reduction game, Carbonfuture has bagged clients as big as Microsoft and Swiss Re. This shows that Carbonfuture's multifaceted approach is working, and will continue to through the coming years. The company is strengthening in market influence too, being the host of the carbon removal conference in April 2023 which saw leaders in the sphere explore new ways of reducing carbon emissions.
