Overview
Gigaton provides a SaaS platform that helps heavy industries cut emissions by building a digital twin for each plant using its historical and real-time data, with deep reinforcement learning to model processes. The Delta Zero AI layer suggests optimal operating parameters and can connect to a plant’s control systems for autonomous optimization without installing new hardware. It concentrates on cement, steel, and glass to lower fuel use, reduce operating costs, and drop CO2 emissions, with pilots showing up to 10% fuel savings and over 50 kilotonnes of CO2 reduced per plant per year. The aim is to scale industrial decarbonization by offering accessible optimization software to energy-intensive manufacturers worldwide.

Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- June 2026 Series A raised $26 million from Plural, 2150, and Semapa Next.
- July 2026 contracts with JK Cement and Adani Cement expand India exposure fast.
- Gigaton's white paper with alcemy and CemAI validates its category leadership in cement AI.
What critics are saying
- Revenue depends on a few cement customers; one failed rollout damages 2027 sales.
- Expansion into steel, glass, and chemicals remains unproven beyond the June 2026 Series A.
- alcemy and CemAI attack the same plant workflows; Gigaton loses if savings disappoint.
What makes Gigaton unique
- Gigaton replaces plant control software, not just optimization dashboards, across heavy industry.
- June 2026 deployments at Adani, Heidelberg Materials, and Holcim proved real savings.
- Cambridge and UCL spinout roots give it rare process-science depth and credibility.

Gigaton, alcemy, and CemAI - Cement Intelligence, in partnership with World Cement, have released a new white paper titled "From quarry to lorry: how AI is solving cement's biggest production challenges." The guide brings together three companies operating across the cement and concrete production value chain to offer a practical, end-to-end roadmap for AI adoption. It covers the key prerequisites for successful deployment, including clean and connected data, domain expertise, and on-site leadership, alongside dedicated sections on predictive quality management, plant process optimisation, predictive maintenance, and driving long-term company-wide adoption. The white paper draws on real deployments with major producers and is aimed at plant managers, process engineers, quality specialists, and digital transformation leaders looking to move from AI ambition to measurable results. The release comes as Gigaton - formerly Carbon Re - announced a US$26 million Series A funding round, with deployments at Adani Cement, Heidelberg Materials, and Holcim already delivering over US$1 million in annual savings per plant.

GreenTech is one of the biggest growth areas in the innovation and startup space, on a global level. It’s a market area that has the potential to shape and influence our future for the better, and investors and entrepreneurs are actively promoting development in this space. This report, powered by Net Zero Insights, aims to give an overview of everything that happened in GreenTech across Europe in the past month.GreenTech refers to the use of tech that has a positive environmental impact at its core. It refers to those companies that are founded for a wider purpose – it could be reducing carbon emissions, tackling pollution, minimizing waste, protecting the world’s ecosystems or anything that contributes to making life on earth more sustainable and less harmful.This month, we noticed a slowdown in terms of funding after October’s GreenTech gold rush. It’s not to say there haven’t been exciting updates and developments, but there is certainly a noticeable decrease in funding amounts – approximately 67%! This month, some things did stay the same with EVs and the energy transition picking up most of the cash.In total, European startups in the climate and GreenTech space raised just over €1 billion in November – down from over €5.2 billion in October. France, Germany and the UK were the powerhouses of the continent, taking up 78% of the continent’s funding
Climate tech startup Carbon Re has raised £4.2m in seed funding to grow its AI platform for reducing Carbon emissions.
