Charm Industrial focuses on carbon capture and storage to help combat climate change. The company collects agricultural residues, which are the leftover parts of crops after harvesting, and converts them into bio-oil using a process called pyrolysis. This process transforms biomass into a carbon-rich liquid through a self-sustaining reaction. The bio-oil is then pumped deep underground, where it solidifies and permanently removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. This method not only helps in reducing CO2 levels but also minimizes risks like wildfires and soil erosion. Charm Industrial differentiates itself by specifically targeting the agricultural sector, providing services that allow farmers to convert their waste into bio-oil and store it underground, thus reducing their carbon footprint. The company's goal is to offer effective carbon capture solutions that contribute to a more sustainable future.

The Top 20 Agtech Deals Of 2023

Disclosure: AgFunderNews’ parent company is AgFunder. Agtech deals of 2023 followed much the same trajectory as other tech sectors, with lower valuations and far fewer mega-rounds than seen in the VC heyday of 2021 and early 2022. This year also saw a shift towards more investment in climate-focused solutions, hence the multiple waste-to-energy startups and carbon-related companies on the list below. Ag biotechnology, which includes the biologicals sector, was another strong category this year
