Despite continuous uncertain news, there is certainty that the US is one of the biggest markets for climate solutions and faces significant challenges through the climate crisis. A key focus of Carbogenics USA is addressing the ongoing calamity caused by the devastating wildfires in the USA, with over 4 million acres of damaged/destroyed woodland alone in New Mexico. Working with government, investors, businesses and the local community we’re exploring new ways to turn environmental disaster into significant sustainable economic development.
Our plan? Triage fire-damaged trees and upcycle them into crechar, smart wood, and soil remediation solutions – actively contributing to biogas production, carbon sequestration, forest ecosystem repair and restoration, as well as job creation as part of a wider circular eco-system around the township of Cimarron in north-east New Mexico.
Carbogenics has onboarded multiple US investors specifically from New Mexico who are working to make Carbogenics USA a reality- a thought made more real by Carbogenics shortlisting for the Advanced Energy Award of $500,000- administered by the New Mexico Economic Development Department (EDD)! Our CEO with pitch competitively in April to secure this investment from a forward thinking, Net Zero focused state – New mexico.
This expansion isn’t just about geography – it’s about scale. We’re currently in the middle of a £4M funding round, and our move into the US is part of a bigger vision to compliment of UK and European expansion and accelerate our impact and bringing new partners, customers and investors along for the journey.
Our CEO Ed Craig (a NJ native) will be in NYC from 29 March for a week meeting investors, technology partners, potential clients and also participating in ‘Live from Tomorrow!’ on Monday 31st January which- well lets see how they describe it;
“L!FT turns the (cap) tables on the traditional Shark Tank format and invites investors to pitch founders.
In each episode, three investors pitch one founder before a live audience – and if selected, the winning investor is invited to co-invest in the founder’s company. Live! From Tomorrow, is a fresh take on investment with a goal of platforming world-class founders accelerating climate innovation. It’s time to tell a better business story.”
Ed will back in the USA in New Mexico from 14-29th April meeting investors, feedstock land-owners, tech partners while progressing and specing our potential operations location for a 2026 launch. He will also be meeting EDD to secure funds and speaking at Biomass and Biogas events in New Mexico and Colorado. His jey messages;
- Why businesses should act now, despite global uncertainty
- The opportunities in the US cleantech market that attracted this high growth Scottish start-up
- How CreChar® can help decarbonise ithe biogas industries and drive profitability in the face of reduced carbon credits
If you’re an investor looking to be part of the next wave of cleantech innovation, let’s talk.
