Origen, a UK-based climate tech startup, is pioneering carbon removal with limestone-based direct air capture (DAC) technology. This isn't just another idea; with $13M raised in Series A funding from heavyweights like Barclays Climate Ventures and Shell Ventures, Origen is scaling its innovative solution. By leveraging limestone's natural chemistry, they're removing CO2 from the atmosphere while developing groundbreaking facilities like their 1,000-tonne-per-year plant in North Dakota. It's a bold, scalable approach to one of the planet's most pressing challenges.

“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
