Brineworks has secured €5 million in seed funding, led by SeaX Ventures, to bring its ultra low-cost Direct Air Capture technology to market. With operations expected by 2026, the company is positioned to deliver durable, renewable-based carbon removal at scale.
Schneider Electric has signed a landmark agreement with Climeworks to purchase 31,000 tons of high-durability carbon removal through 2039. The deal, Climeworks’ largest portfolio to date, includes Direct Air Capture and Storage, BECCS, and Enhanced Rock Weathering solutions.
The Carbon Removers are scaling biogenic carbon capture and storage (BECCS) in Scotland, capturing CO₂ from distilleries and biogas facilities for mineralization into building aggregates and long-term storage. Partnering with Mangrove Systems, they have embedded robust measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) to ensure every tonne removed is fully traceable and verifiable.
Microsoft’s Climate Innovation Fund has invested in Fortera to scale production of its ReAct™ low-carbon cement, securing rights to procure cement and environmental attribute certificates. The funding supports the construction of Fortera’s first full-scale 400,000 ton-per-year commercial plant.
Aircapture has partnered with AIZAWA Concrete Corporation to launch Japan’s first commercial direct air capture (DAC) installation at AIZAWA’s Fukushima R&D Center. The project will provide a reliable on-site CO₂ supply for permanent mineralization in concrete.
