🌟 Proud Moment for Xofia: Recognition for Innovation in Decarbonization! 🌟 We are thrilled to announce that Xofia's Spinebone platform has received the Decarbonization Award at the III edition of the Energy Cluster of Aragón (Clenar) Awards in Spain. This prestigious recognition highlights Xofia's groundbreaking impact on advancing decarbonization efforts globally. The Spinebone, conceptualized and patented (pending) by Xofia in Houston, USA, is a revolutionary platform designed to tackle residual emissions. Leveraging advanced hashgraph technology, Spinebone provides a transparent, efficient way to manage emissions and offsets, enabling companies to mitigate CO2 emissions down to fractions of grams. This innovation sets a new benchmark for accountability and precision in emissions management, directly supporting the fight against climate change. The platform's development, in collaboration with hiberus demonstrates the power of international partnerships in creating disruptive solutions for a sustainable future. This recognition in Spain underscores Spinebone's global relevance and potential to transform industries' approaches to residual emissions. This award reinforces Xofia's commitment to innovation and highlights the importance of collaborations that drive impactful change. Here's to a cleaner, greener future powered by innovation!

🌞 Back from the summer and thrilled to share the exciting fundraising of Carbyon!   💚 Carbyon has just closed a €15.3M Series A alongside Next47 / Siemens Financial Services, Lowercarbon Capital, Innovation Industries, Global Cleantech Capital, and Invest-NL to accelerate its mission of making large-scale carbon capture a reality. This milestone brings the company's total funding to over €25M, positioning it to advance the development of its ultra-fast, cost-effective Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology.   🌱 The DAC market is poised for exponential growth, being identified by the IPCC as one of the key solutions to fight climate change in the decades to come. After spending almost 2 years analyzing the space with Renaud POULARD and Paul Maurens, we believe Carbyon stands out with its exceptionally strong science-based technology and a unique capacity for large-scale industrialization. Leveraging a groundbreaking fast-swing sorbent developed through many years of R&D (notably in collaboration with TNO and ASML), Carbyon’s next-gen approach has the potential to finally make DAC an economic reality. Indeed, thanks to its high capture density and fast operation speed, this technology is set to decrease the cost of carbon capture by a factor of ten, making a substantial contribution to global decarbonization efforts.   🔬 Carbyon’s innovative approach not only boasts significant CAPEX advantages but also offers high operational efficiency. The company’s technology could achieve capture costs as low as €25 per ton at scale—making it by far the most cost-efficient solution available today. Looking ahead, Carbyon is set to launch its first engineering-scale demonstrators as it moves towards the commercial pilot phase.   Congratulations to Hans De Neve for leading the charge.   #fundraising #SeriesA #climatetech #carboncapture #decarbonization #cleantech

✨ Yesterday at the Innovation Fund #Cleantech Conference 2024 in Brussels, we were inspired by leaders in technology and policy, including a powerful opening from Executive Vice-President Maroš Šefčovič.   🗣️ "There is no doubt that cleantech will lead the way towards a sustainable and prosperous European economy of tomorrow," stated Executive Vice-President Šefčovič.   🌟 The Innovation Fund plays a crucial role in catalyzing these advancements by financially supporting pioneering projects that aim to significantly reduce carbon emissions across Europe.   ⚙️ At #ECGA, we stand at the forefront of this transformation, championing carbon and graphite's essential contributions to cleantech innovations. Our materials are at the heart of manufacturing components crucial for renewable energy and energy storage systems.   🔗The EU's carbon and graphite industry is not just participating. With the support of policies and funding opportunities highlighted at the conference, we are proud to say that our members are integral in upholding Europe’s competitive edge. Our products are essential in various applications, from steel production to advanced battery technologies, demonstrating our sector’s vital role in the EU’s value chains.   🔋 “The demand-growth is huge, driven by electric transportation, and synthetic graphite is the most important anode material for EV batteries. So we are in a very sweet spot,” said Andreas Forfang, Vice President of Sustainability & ESG at Vianode AS, highlighting the strategic importance of synthetic graphite in the evolving market landscape.   💡As we continue to innovate and contribute responsibly, ECGA remains dedicated to advancing our industry's growth and ensuring it plays a central role in Europe's transition to a greener economy.   #ECGA #IFCleantech #Cleantech2024 #SustainableEurope #Innovation #CarbonGraphite #EUIndustry #GreenTransition
