Berlin \u2014 good\u00adcar\u00adbon secu\u00adres \u20ac5.25 million in funding to bring new high-quality nature-based solu\u00adti\u00adons to market and enable compa\u00adnies to meet their long-term net zero and nature commit\u00adments. Ocean 14 Capi\u00adtal leads the round, with parti\u00adci\u00adpa\u00adtion from Silver\u00adstrand Capi\u00adtal, high profile angel inves\u00adtors and exis\u00adting inves\u00adtors Planet A Ventures, 468 Capi\u00adtal and Green\u00adfield Capital.<\/p>\n
Foun\u00added in 2021 by J\u00e9r\u00f4me Cochet (photo left) and David Diallo, good\u00adcar\u00adbon offers a plat\u00adform for compa\u00adnies that want to build and manage trust\u00adwor\u00adthy, long-term port\u00adfo\u00adlios of carbon credits from nature-based solu\u00adti\u00adons. The start-up\u2019s approach invol\u00adves close colla\u00adbo\u00adra\u00adtion with impact-orien\u00adted projects and the culti\u00adva\u00adtion of exclu\u00adsive good\u00adcar\u00adbon origi\u00adnal projects.<\/p>\n
The EUR 5.25 million invest\u00adment is aimed at expan\u00adding the company\u2019s nature analy\u00adsis and exper\u00adtise, streng\u00adthening the team and brin\u00adging addi\u00adtio\u00adnal high-quality climate protec\u00adtion projects to the market<\/p>\n
At the heart of their model is the realiza\u00adtion that the follo\u00adwing three major chal\u00adlenges of our time are inter\u00adlin\u00adked and require a unified solu\u00adtion: Global warm\u00ading<\/strong> (\u201cnet zero target\u201d), loss of nature<\/strong> (\u201cbiodi\u00adver\u00adsity target\u201d) and global inequa\u00adlity<\/strong> (\u201cSDG target\u201d). In the coming years, the start-up aims to become an inte\u00adgral part of the carbon offset\u00adting plans of compa\u00adnies in Germany and beyond.<\/p>\n \u201cThis finan\u00adcing round marks a pivo\u00adtal moment for good\u00adcar\u00adbon and our mission to provide compa\u00adnies with access to high-quality nature-based solu\u00adti\u00adons that enable them to imple\u00adment their emis\u00adsion reduc\u00adtion stra\u00adte\u00adgies while protec\u00adting our planet,\u201d says J\u00e9r\u00f4me Cochet <\/strong>(photo left), foun\u00adder and CEO of good\u00adcar\u00adbon<\/strong>. \u201cIt is esti\u00adma\u00adted that 10 billion tons of carbon reduc\u00adtion can come from nature by 2030, but we need to close the finan\u00adcing gap for high quality instal\u00adla\u00adti\u00adons. Many compa\u00adnies are reluc\u00adtant to enter into long-term part\u00adner\u00adships with projects due to a lack of avai\u00adla\u00adbi\u00adlity and trans\u00adpa\u00adrency on the actual quality of the projects. With the Ocean 14 Capi\u00adtal fund and Silver\u00adstrand Capi\u00adtal on board, we are streng\u00adthening our global network and exper\u00adtise in nature-based solu\u00adti\u00adons and have expe\u00adri\u00aden\u00adced new part\u00adners on our side to expand our Good Carbon Origi\u00adnals projects.\u201d<\/p>\n Nature-based solu\u00adti\u00adons are projects that aim to protect, sustain\u00adably manage and restore natu\u00adral and alte\u00adred ecosys\u00adtems, effec\u00adtively addres\u00adsing social chal\u00adlenges while bene\u00adfiting people and nature (IUCN). These projects have long-term, ecolo\u00adgi\u00adcally and econo\u00admic\u00adally sustainable effects for nature, local commu\u00adni\u00adties and inves\u00adtors alike. Support\u00ading early-stage nature-based solu\u00adti\u00adons means initia\u00adting high-impact, high-inte\u00adgrity projects that are scalable, drive inno\u00adva\u00adtion, and restore and sustain ecosys\u00adtems. Nature-based solu\u00adti\u00adons are indeed the most effec\u00adtive tool in the fight against climate change, biodi\u00adver\u00adsity loss and social inequality.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are deligh\u00adted to support good\u00adcar\u00adbon and its mission to provide compa\u00adnies with access to nature-based solu\u00adti\u00adons,\u201d says George Duffield of Ocean 14 Capi\u00adtal<\/strong>. \u201cWe are parti\u00adcu\u00adlarly impres\u00adsed by their science-based approach to quality and the alignment between product and market. The fact that they are alre\u00adady working with leading compa\u00adnies such as Deut\u00adsche Tele\u00adkom, Bertels\u00admann and Melitta clearly demons\u00adtra\u00adtes their poten\u00adtial to lead and make a diffe\u00adrence in this space. We look forward to helping good\u00adcar\u00adbon enable more compa\u00adnies to confi\u00addently deli\u00adver on their net zero and nature promises.\u201d<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.goodcarbon.earth<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Berlin \u2014 good\u00adcar\u00adbon secu\u00adres \u20ac5.25 million in funding to bring new high-quality nature-based solu\u00adti\u00adons to market and enable compa\u00adnies to meet their long-term net zero and nature commit\u00adments.
