Climate Tech Startups

Eight global startups shortlisted for S$4M (~$3M USD) funding at The Liveability Challenge 2026, selected from 1,500+ submissions across 100+ countries, focusing on decarbonisation and urban heat solutions.[1][9]
Key finalists include:

•Endo Enterprises (UK): Closed-loop hydronic additive cuts building cooling energy by up to 15%.[1]

•FlueVault & Metha8 (Singapore): Low-cost carbon capture and methanol-to-power generation.[1]

•MacroCycle Technologies (US): Advanced textile recycling reduces energy use and emissions.[1]

•Power To Hydrogen (US): Hydrogen production lowers emissions and costs.[1]

•Spacecool (Japan): Passive radiative cooling for urban heat mitigation.[1]

•UP Catalyst (Estonia): Converts flue gases to battery-grade carbon materials.[1]

•Yama (France): Electrified carbon capture for dilute gas streams.[1]

Trending eco startups in April 2026: Carbon Robotics (+1100% search growth, 4.4K monthly searches) leads in sustainable agriculture tech; Nautilus Data (+1200% growth) offers water cooling for data centers, cutting power use, air pollution, and GHG emissions.[2]

Other notables: Remora ($117M funding) deploys tailpipe carbon capture on trucks using durable adsorbents for humid conditions, targeting transport emissions.[5] Planet Savers (Japan) develops scalable direct air capture to lower CO2 removal costs.[4]

Events spotlighting startups: SusHi Tech Tokyo 2026 features Synspective (weather-independent satellite monitoring for climate risks) and Kyoto Fusioneering (fusion energy).[4] Trellis seeks applicants by March 27 for "15 Climate Tech Startups to Watch 2026" in data centers, materials, and adaptation.[6] Scaleup Summit SF (April 2026) highlights Korean climate tech and carbon removal.[8]

Clean Energy

Bloom Energy powers data centers and microgrids with fuel cells, generating tens of terawatt-hours globally for emissions reductions in high-reliability settings.[3] Nautilus Data's data center cooling reduces GHG emissions.[2]

ESG Investing & Funding

Limited new funding metrics today; Remora's $117M backs transport carbon capture.[5] Cloverly enables real-time carbon offset APIs for businesses, partnering in fintech and e-commerce.[5] Venture For ClimateTech accelerator supports global innovators to pilots and investment.[7]

Climate Policy & Environmental Innovations

No specific new policies reported today. Innovations emphasize carbon capture (FlueVault, Yama, Remora, Planet Savers), materials (UP Catalyst, MacroCycle), and cooling (Endo, Spacecool, Nautilus).[1][2][4][5] AI's environmental strain (water, carbon) drives data center and grid tech focus.[5]
