More and more individuals and organizations are interested in buying carbon credits to offset some or all of their carbon emissions. Unfortunately, it is challenging to understand which credits are effective and which ones aren’t. Moreover, prices and the quality of the underlying reduction / removal processes vary considerably. With this article, we at Übermorgen Ventures seek to bring clarity to the topic and provide a framework to guide potential buyers and people generally interested in the space.

Removing a gigaton of carbon from the atmosphere by 2030 is no small feat, but Übermorgen Ventures portfolio firm Carbo Culture tries to achieve exactly that. For her efforts and the efforts of the entire team, Henrietta Moon (CEO and co-founder of Carbo Culture) got nominated as one of 31 New Economy Catalysts by Bloomberg.

Impact investing is on the rise, and Elena Walder-Schiavone, managing partner at Übermorgen Ventures and member of the Swiss Green Fintech Network, is at the forefront of it. In an interview with finance.swiss, Elena shared how Übermorgen Ventures is investing with impact as well as her vision for Switzerland to take a leading role in the space.

Carbo Culture — a startup that has scaled an industrial process to create large-scale CO2 removal using woody waste from agriculture and forests — has raised $6.2 million in seed a financing round led by Silicon Valley VC True Ventures. European early-stage venture firm Cherry Ventures and Übermorgen Ventures also participated.
