The Growth Of Carbon Tech Companies

As consumers become more eco-conscious, and the impact of global warming continues to dominate headlines, tech and startups are stepping in to help.

Carbon Tech in particular has become a popular way for businesses to minimise their environmental impact. These companies help measure and remove excess carbon from the atmosphere, offsetting emissions and allowing businesses to work towards being net zero.

According to Manhattan Venture Partners, investment in the carbon tech market hit $7.6 billion in 3Q23, showing a lot of investor interest in the sector.

Not only that, but the sector is set to record a CAGR of 13.3% from 2023 to 2032.

 

Why Are Companies Investing In Carbon Tech?

 

As consumers are putting more pressure on businesses to reduce their carbon footprint, many companies are investing heavily in carbon capture technology. 

These technologies work in a number of ways, including:

  • Using AI to reduce carbon emissions and help businesses operate more sustainably.
  • Using excess carbon to create new materials or generate energy for other uses.
  • Removing CO2 from the atmosphere by planting more trees or creating areas that naturally remove excess carbon from the atmosphere.
