Top Carbon Startups in 2024

Clairity Technology was founded to develop technology and solutions to combat climate change. We create scalable and low-cost technology and systems for direct air capture of carbon dioxide. We focus on generating low purity CO2 streams to simplify design, reduce cost, and improve scalability. As you increase the purity of CO2, the amount of energy required to further purify it goes up. It takes more energy to go from 90 to 100%, than from 0 to 10%. By limiting the final purity of our product, we end up with a process that is much more energy efficient per molecule of CO2 removed. The secondary impacts of this on our designs are huge, and we can use the same materials that you would use to build a house, unlike competitors' processes that need highly specialized, and expensive, equipment.

Coastal Carbon is a seed-funded startup on a mission to create positive impact through earth observation and AI. Founded at the University of Waterloo by a team of PhDs and engineers, we’re backed by some of the best AI and climate tech investors like HF0, Inovia Capital and Propeller Ventures, angels like James Tamplin (cofounder Firebase) and Sid Gorham (cofounder OpenTable, Granular), and partners like Amazon AWS and the United Nations. We’re building multimodal foundation models for the natural world. We believe there’s more to the world than the internet + more to intelligence than memorizing the internet. Our models are trained on satellite remote sensing and real world ground truth data, and are used by our customers in nature conservation, carbon dioxide removal, and government to protect and positively impact our increasingly changing world. Our ultimate goal is to build AGI of the natural world.
