Large-scale CO2 removal startup Carbo Culture raises $6.2M Seed led by True Ventures
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. The round was co-led by European early-stage venture firm Cherry Ventures. Swiss climate investor Übermorgen Ventures also participated. The new funding will be used to grow the team, product development, and build one of Europe’s largest carbon removal facilities.
Energy from the sun creates photosynthesis in plants and turning CO2 into plant matter that eventually decomposes and re-enters the atmosphere. Carbo Culture mimics this existing process, it just makes it much, much faster.

CAMANCHE â The City of Camanche will consider adding a nuisance abatement and building inspector position during the fiscal year 2022 budget process.
Camanche City Administrator Andrew Kida noted the city has been looking at implementing a building inspector and nuisance abatement position for a while. Part of the cityâs issue is building inspector Jim Sowle is now a shift worker and not available all the time, Kida said. It becomes more challenging to service citizens who need permits, Kida said.
âWe would like to have this position be created as a building inspector and nuisance abatement person,â Kida said. âOne of the things I would really like to see is nuisance abatement leave my desk and have that be a regular hourly employee that takes care of that.â
