Cool Planet Technologies accelerating carbon capture

Cool Planet Technologies Limited announced that the Company successfully raised €23.7 million in a Series A2 funding round. The investment has been provided by industrial investors, further validating the appeal of its compact, low-energy and low-cost membrane-based carbon capture solution.

The funding round was led by Taranis Carbon Ventures. Other investors in the round were CRH Ventures and BlueScopeX with the Company’s existing investors Eni Next, NEVA SGR (the Intesa Sanpaolo Group’s venture capital company) and Audacy Ventures also participating.

This funding will advance Cool Planet’s ambition of becoming a leading provider of highly efficient point source carbon capture solutions for industrial emissions and will also enable the Company to complete the demonstration of its technology at scale whilst accelerating commercial deployment, including the construction of a membrane manufacturing facility.

Cool Planet closed an oversubscribed A1 Round in September 2022. LAB Energy Advisors assisted Cool Planet in the capital raise.

Andrew Corner, the CEO of Cool Planet Technologies, commented: “We are delighted to have the support of these three new major industrial investors and we want to thank our existing investors for their continued support. The investment is a significant endorsement and demonstrates their confidence in the technical advantage and commercial potential of our technology as well as the Cool Planet team. Cool Planet is committed to bringing affordable, modular decarbonisation solutions to industries and sectors that historically have been hard to decarbonise. We believe that our technology will significantly reduce the cost of carbon capture and help to accelerate its adoption at scale.

This investment will enable us to demonstrate both the potential of our technology at scale and how Cool Planet will become a leading player in providing affordable solutions to help decarbonise multiple industries. We look forward to demonstrating our advanced modular membrane capture technology next year at a plant capturing 10,000 tonnes per annum of carbon dioxide at Holcim’s Höver cement plant near Hannover in Germany.”
