Climate Tech Startups & Funding

•

US Climate Tech Funding Surge

US climate tech investment reached $15.3 billion in the first half of 2025, up from $11.4 billion in the same period last year[1]. The bulk of this capital is concentrated in later-stage, technology-ready companies, with Series C and later deals jumping 33.3% year-over-year, while early-stage (seed and Series A) funding declined by about 12%[1].

•

Notable Startups

ZeroAvia (hydrogen-electric aviation, $140M Series B), Pachama (AI-driven carbon credit platform, $79.3M Series B), and Dexmat (winner of Trellis 25 Climate Tech Startups to Watch) are among the most innovative climate tech companies attracting significant investment[2][4]. Other finalists include Ammobia (low-carbon ammonia), Planet Savers (modular direct air capture), Airbuild (microalgae-based carbon removal), and Photon Marine (electric marine propulsion)[4].

•

Global and Regional Trends

The MENA region has seen $651 million in climate tech VC investment from 2018–2022, with the UAE leading at 62% of the total[3]. The global climate tech market is projected to grow at a 24–25% CAGR through 2032, driven by net-zero targets, COP28 momentum, and new climate-fund platforms[3].

•

Accelerators and Incubators

Over 100 technology accelerators worldwide now support sustainability and climate tech startups, helping them scale and attract further investment[9].

Clean Energy & Environmental Innovations

•

Hydrogen and Electrification

ZeroAvia is commercializing hydrogen-electric powertrains for regional and long-haul aviation, targeting one of the fastest-growing sources of greenhouse gas emissions[2].

•

Carbon Removal

Pachama uses remote sensing and AI to verify forest carbon credits, while Planet Savers and Airbuild are developing novel direct air capture and biochar solutions[2][4].

•

Sustainable Refrigeration and Agriculture

Breeze Innovations is working on net-zero refrigerants, and Sprout, Inc. offers weather-based crop insurance to help farmers adapt to climate change[7].

•

Supply Chain Decarbonization

Floras has created a loyalty currency tied to carbon offset projects, enabling corporations to engage customers in sustainability while meeting ESG goals[7].

ESG Investing & Carbon Impact

•

Investment Concentration

Climate tech now represents 13.3% of total US startup funding, up from 5.5% in previous years, signaling strong investor confidence in the sector’s growth and impact potential[1].

•

Carbon Impact Metrics

While specific gigaton-scale reductions are not detailed in the latest news, startups like Planet Savers aim to remove gigatons of CO₂ via modular direct air capture, and Pachama’s platform quantifies forest carbon sequestration for corporate buyers[2][4].

•

ESG Integration

Floras and similar fintech tools are embedding carbon offsetting into B2B transactions and consumer loyalty programs, making ESG compliance more accessible and measurable for businesses[7].
