🌍 The race to scale Direct Air Capture is heating up. BloombergNEF’s latest report profiles 14 companies racing to deploy direct air capture at scale, a technology that will be critical to achieving net-zero. A few players are speeding ahead while many others remain in the early stages of proving their technology and commercial pathways. 📊 Key findings: - Capital: Fundraising is highly concentrated. Swiss-based Climeworks leads with dollars raised largely from venture investors. US-based 1PointFive follows with capital from BlackRock and Occidental. - Technology: Electrochemical approaches from Mission Zero Technologies and RepAir Carbon Capture have the lowest energy requirements and a stronger potential for cost declines. - Projects: Climeworks has the most announced projects while 1PointFive leads on total planned capacity. Newer entrants such as RepAir Carbon Capture, 280 Earth, and 8 Rivers remain in early stages. - Commercialization: 1PointFive leads in offset volume sold while Deep Sky and Climeworks is among those with strong partnership networks. 👉 Full rankings and company profiles are available in the report: https://lnkd.in/e_hwBRvM If you’d like to explore access, feel free to message me directly. #NetZero #CarbonRemoval #DirectAirCapture #ClimateTech #Sustainability #EnergyTransition

Industrial heat is responsible for nearly 20% of global CO₂ emissions and yet, it continues to be one of the hardest problems to decarbonise. That’s why we’re excited to have led the £1.2 M pre-seed round of Hot Green, a UK startup developing ultra-efficient, low-carbon industrial heat-pump systems to replace fossil-fuel boilers in factories, alongside co-investors Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP), First Imagine! Ventures, The Conduit EIS Impact Fund, and Almanac Ventures Hot Green’s systems lower costs, increase efficiency, and simplify installation; tackling the main barriers to industrial heat pump adoption. With early engagement from major food-and-beverage manufacturers, the company is well positioned to lead the next wave of clean-heat adoption. Congratulations to Georgia Ware, Andrew Anderson, and the HotGreen Solutions team on this milestone, and welcome to the Empirical Ventures portfolio.

We lead rounds for the best entrepreneurial scientists and engineers. In the first funding round, the only data point that matters is the talent. The quality of the people in the business and how that talent forms a moat that is hard to replicate. In Georgia Ware and Andrew Anderson we have found the latest founders to join the Empirical Ventures portfolio that fit this mould. Decarbonising F&B by developing drop-in replacements for industrial gas boilers. Payback in 2-years because they focused on the key limitation of current technology - the compressor. Great to have led this round alongside some brilliant co-investors. The next 12 months are going to be 🚀 https://lnkd.in/ebZSwqMA
