Carbo Culture gets funded by Wave Ventures

Carbo Culture, a Helsinki, Finland energy startup raised an undisclosed amount in seed money from Wave Ventures.

Carbo Culture, co-founded and led by CEO Pia Henrietta Kekäläinen, provides a solution that turns methane-emitting local waste biomass into high carbon content charcoal. The company aims to make a change in the way charcoal is sourced for industry and agriculture use today, and make the chain more transparent, scientific, efficient and carbon negative.

Carbo Culture has been working its way through the universe since Singularity University's Global Solutions Program held in 2013 at NASA Ames Research Center in California. The multi-disciplinary team has been put together during and after 2013, and together the team has over three decades of experience in carbon research, engineering, patents, science scale-up and ventures.
