    Climate Takes Capital

    Welcome to Carbon13's podcast "Climate Takes" where we ask special guests for their "takes" on their industry and climate challenge, as well as setting a call to action, asking what will it take to solve the climate emergency? On Climate Takes Capital, we're looking at money and where it goes in climatetech and why. $44 billion was invested into climatetech in 2024, with one in six of those dollars invested in the UK, including a billion spent on AI Climatetech. Carbon13's very own Founding Partner Michael Langguth and Min Dhillon, Head of Capital, share their takes on the climatetech investment landscape. Carbon13 has invested £10 million into nearly 80 ventures since 2021, with the portfolio now having a collective potential to reduce emissions by 500 million tonnes per year when at scale. Subscribe to Climate Takes to find more content on green chemicals, innovative materials, AI, and hard won lessons in climate entrepreneurship.

    Climate Takes Ammonia

    Welcome to Carbon13's podcast "Climate Takes" where we ask special guests for their "takes" on their industry and climate challenge, as well as setting a call to action, asking what will it take to solve the climate emergency? On Climate Takes Ammonia, we're talking about the chemical that feeds half the world, is a $230 billion industry, and is key to a clean hydrogen future. But which right now is the most polluting chemical process on earth. To make one tonne of ammonia, two tonnes of emissions are generated.  But industry is so keen for Nium's clean ammonia, that they already have a $120 million project pipeline and $50 million in signed offtake agreements, while still at TRL 5. We'll be getting the story behind those numbers and more, with CEO Lewis Jenkins. We hope you enjoy the podcast and it becomes a catalyst for you for climate tech innovation too.

    Climate Takes Sea Robots

    Welcome to Carbon13's podcast "Climate Takes" where we ask special guests for their "takes" on their industry and climate challenge, as well as setting a call to action, asking what will it take to solve the climate emergency? This episode is all about the ocean and the technology revolution taking place far beyond the landlubber's horizon. The fact that our guest's venture is backed by the European Space Agency tells you how we should be thinking of mankind's next frontiers. Climate Takes Sea Robots speaks to Joyeeta Das, CEO and Co-founder of Samudra Ocean, a robotics and AI company for ocean-based carbon capture. Samudra was named winner of the 2024 COP29 Global Green Innovation Challenge People's Choice Award, is nominated for the Earthshot Prize, and is a recipient of the 2024 Prix Bulles Pierre Cardin. Joyeeta herself has founded three successful startups and serves on the boards of global companies, passionately advocating for the use of technology to drive social good. She has been recognized as an Innovate UK Women in Tech Ambassador, featured in the Financial Times BAME 100 list, and honored with the UK Pioneering Woman in Tech award from Diversity UK. Joyeeta's influence as a speaker extends to prestigious platforms like the UN, the World Economic Forum, and the Scottish Seaweed Industry Association Why does oceantech matter? The ocean is the primary source of protein for 3 billion people, its economy is estimated at over $2 trillion, it absorbs 25% of carbon emissions and could become one of the greatest weapons in the fight against global warming. Welcome on board, we hope you enjoy the podcast.

    Climate Takes Concrete

    Welcome to Carbon13's podcast "Climate Takes" where we ask special guests for their "takes" on their industry and climate challenge, as well as setting a call to action, asking what will it take to solve the climate emergency? In this episode hosted by Sara Jones, we speak to Eliot Brooks, CEO and Co-founder of Cocoon Carbon. In just 18 months, the cofounding team has scaled their technology to TRL6, raised $5.4m in pre-seed funding, and grown the company to 12 people. Eliot was already an award winning entrepreneur and Forbes 30 Under 30 when he joined Carbon13's Venture Builder in 2023, in this episode, he shares his journey and his mission to make Cocoon Carbon one of the fastest growing climate hardware companies in the world. Why does concrete matter? Concrete is the second most used man-made material after water. It's also one of the biggest single emitters of carbon dioxide, responsible for 8% of emissions. If it was a country, it would be the 3rd or 4th most polluting country in the world. Sara Jones is Head of Marketing at Carbon13. She's worked in London's startup ecosystem for well over a decade and has been with Carbon13 since 2020, turning it into one of the strongest magnets for climate focused entrepreneurs in Europe.
