LOS ALAMOS, N.M.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In a significant development for climate action, Spiritus, the leading climate tech company designing solutions for market accessible carbon removal using direct air capture (DAC), has announced today that it will establish its first “Carbon Orchard” direct air capture and sequestration site in Central Wyoming. The facility, known as Orchard One, will be one of the world’s largest direct air capture facilities, capable of capturing and sequestering up to two megatons of carbon from the atmosphere annually. Orchard One will bring hundreds of jobs to Wyoming, and will begin carbon removal in 2026. Spiritus is pioneering a new offering for direct air capture, the gold standard for high-quality carbon dioxide removal (CDR), that makes direct air capture accessible within all net-zero portfolios by driving a tenfold reduction in cost from current standards. Increasing accessibility means bringing the cost of direct air capture and geologic sequestration under $100 a ton, a tenfold cost reduction, enabling stakeholders to achieve more carbon removal value for their high-quality CDR investments. Stakeholders can now include top-quality direct air capture from Orchard One in their portfolios, overcoming a major concern with alternative lower-quality lower-permanence carbon credits and offsets

Climate solutions are significantly underfunded and under-prioritised by both the public and private sectors. Currently, only an estimated 16% of climate finance needs are being met, with early technology readiness solutions experiencing the largest funding deficits. Barring serious changes being made quickly, according to the IPCC’s latest synthesis report, the world is now likely to overshoot the Paris Agreement goal of limiting warming to 1.5°C.The bulk of climate investment, to date, has focused on mitigation solutions like renewable energy, electric vehicles and shifting to electrification. While bringing emissions to net-zero as soon as possible is imperative, even with best efforts we know a certain level of warming is now locked in. It’s therefore crucial that governments and businesses alike prioritise adaptation and resilience strategies spending alongside mitigation. These resilience efforts will address risks arising from climate change, and importantly enable economies and businesses to grow and prosper in the face of increasing climate hazards.Building an Understanding of Climate RisksIn its illuminating 2018 report, the IPCC laid out the differences between a 1.5ºC and 2.0ºC world
Climate tech funding in 2022 represented more than a quarter of every venture dollar invested in 2022 according to PwC’s State of Climate Tech 2022 report. This represents aggregate funds raised for climate tech since the start of 2018 of $260 billion, over which more than $52 billion has come in 2022. Climate fintech startups raised $3 billion in 2022, с. 3x vs 2021 according to data from CommerzVentures.This is just the beginning of the surge. PitchBook estimates the climate tech market will be near $1.4 trillion in five years, representing a сompound annual growth rate of 8.8%. Carbon tech (incl
Climate solutions software provider Watershed announced today the acquisition of environmental database provider VitalMetrics, in a move the company said will enable its customers to measure emissions with global coverage and granularity, and to meet increasing verification and audit standards.

Meet Carbon Maps, a new French startup that raised $4.3 million (€4 million) just a few weeks after its inception. The company is building a software-as-a-service platform for the food industry so that they can track the environmental impact of each of their products in their lineup. The platform can be used as a basis for eco ratings.While there are quite a few carbon accounting startups like Greenly, Sweep, Persefoni and Watershed, Carbon Maps isn’t an exact competitor as it doesn’t calculate a company’s carbon emissions as a whole. It doesn’t focus on carbon emissions exclusively either. Carbon Maps focuses on the food industry and evaluates the environmental impact of products — not companies.Co-founded by Patrick Asdaghi, Jérémie Wainstain and Estelle Huynh, the company managed to raise a seed round with Breega and Samaipata — these two VC firms already invested in Asdaghi’s previous startup, FoodChéri.FoodChéri is a full-stack food delivery company that designs its own meals and sells them directly to end customers with an important focus on healthy food. It also operates Seazon, a sister company for batch deliveries
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. As we enter 2023, GreenTech is one of the hottest topics in the wider startup community
Image credit:Sweep. 前回につづいて3社目に紹介するのは排出量ソフトウェアプロバイダーのSweepだ。2021年にフランスでRachel Delacour氏によって設立された。彼女は2015年に顧客データ分析ZendeskをSAPに4,500万ドルで売却した連続起業家だ。同社は2022年4月にCoatuがリードしたシリーズBラウンドで7200万ドルを調達し、累計調達額は9,990万ドルとなっている。. 同社が提供するのは大企業向けの包括的な炭素管理ソリューションだ。ボストンコンサルティンググループの調査によると、回答した大企業(今回の調査では従業員1,000人以上、売上高約1億ドル~100億ドルの企業が対象)の内、自社が関わっている排出量を完全に測定できると答えたのは、わずか10%程度だった。2021年の調査では9%だったことと70%の企業が財務的な排出量削減のメリットを把握していることを踏まえると、サプライチェーンの排出量の完全把握はしたくない、というよりはできないという表現が合うように思う。
