Carbon Clean Solutions has secured 拢12.4m funding.
The Reading-based聽start-up specialising in carbon separation technology has been backed by a consortium of global companies.
Chevron Technology Ventures, Marubeni Corporation and WAVE Equity Partners are providing the investment, which will be used to deliver an existing pipeline of global projects to lower emissions from industry.
CEO Aniruddha Sharma said: 鈥淭his investment demonstrates the confidence our new investors have in our technology and its commercial scalability.
鈥淲e can now grow our company to a size that can help deliver projects to make a net zero emissions world possible and expand our modularised CO2 capture technology to heavy industry.
鈥淥ur investors are active participants in helping to develop and scale carbon capture utilisation and storage solutions.
鈥淲e look forward to collaborating closely with them to advance our technology and deliver real impact, on gigatonne or one billion tonne CO2 abatement scale.鈥�
Praveen Sahay, Managing Director at WAVE, added: 鈥淐CSL reduces the cost of carbon capture from industrial emissions by more than half. This is the hardest 25% of GHG emission to control and this affordable solution turns an economic liability into an asset.
鈥淚t has the potential to unlock hundreds of billions of markets for profitable at-source CO2 capture and beneficial reuse and change the industry debate from an ethical and political imperative to a free-market driven financially rational decision.鈥�
