We are excited to join Klimate.co in their mission to advance carbon removal solutions. Carbon neutrality is a huge imperative across sectors.

EIFO is dedicated to achieving the net zero-goals. If we are to fulfill the ambitions of the Paris Agreement, we need to establish real and large-scale carbon removal. But the market is still immature. Supply is limited, and it is challenging to decide which technologies and projects are greenwashing or delivers on their promise. We see Klimate.co playing a part in solving these two issues. With their innovative Carbon Purchase Agreement-concept they have the potential to increase the number of projects being financed and as one of the most knowledgeable carbon removal teams out there, they are on a mission to ensure transparency around the quality of the projects, says Johan Bitsch Nielsen, Investment Manager at Export and Investment Fund of Denmark, EIFO.

Klimate operates within the rapidly expanding sector of carbon removal initiatives, a critical component in achieving climate objectives aimed at limiting global temperature increases to less than 2℃.. The startup offers a unique proposition to make such projects bankable and therefore scalable, while supporting offtakers in optimizing their carbon removal portfolios. We are excited to join forces with prominent investors like Eneco Ventures and Helen Ventures in this funding round, who bring in the market knowledge necessary to make Klimate a success.
