CARBON 1.5
We are developing a suite of industrial plants and digital technology to help the winter tourism sector achieve its carbon-neutral goals.
OUR STORY
An End-To-End
Infrastructure For Ski
Resorts To Become
Carbon-Neutral
We are a European infrastructure climate tech start-up born in the French Alps at 1930m, developing a groundbreaking technology for carbon capture at altitude.
We are successful entrepreneurs with a track record of building large
technology companies and generating significant returns for our
investors.
We are ambitious entrepreneurs with many successful experiences
in European tech start-ups.
AMBITION
Our Ambition With
Carbon 1.5
Our ambition is to develop, build and implement our DAC at Altitude units across the Alps to capture 1 Mt of CO2 by 2034. Thus making a major contribution to preserving and diversifying the mountain economies of Europe.
A Carbon Neutral Future For The Snow Economies Of The World
Our first ClimateTech product in the mountains, EcoSki. aims to reduce Artificial Snow production by 40% by precisely measuring Snow-depth for Just-in-Time production. EcoSKi is projected to generate savings of 24,000 Tonnes of CO2 across the Alps by 2030. Our satellite partner Iceye (with 24 satellites orbiting Europe) has been taking rich Radar (SAR) images of Ski Resorts for us. Specifically sectors such as the Grand Motte in Tignes, France, Hintertux in Austria and Kiruna in Swedish Lapland.

OUR TEAM
Senior Team
We are ambitious entrepreneurs who have founded and built multiple successful European tech startups and delivered significant returns on Shareholder Investment.
We are passionate about our homeland of Val d’Isère, the beauty of the French Alp’s nature and the Snow / Ski sector that sustains our friends, families and communities livelihoods.
We want to do our best to preserve our mountain environment and more widely that of the entire planet.
We strongly believe that carbon capture can help us do that, and we want to contribute to its development up here, and then in Europe.

Funding
Founders funding: A minimum of €2m set aside for match funding
requirements.
Public-sector funding from the EU, Austrian, French and UK Governments:
Approximately €10m available for the early phases of the project with
follow-on funding of €30m+ available.
We believe that Direct Air Capture now needs proven entrepreneurs to
deliver the negative emissions that science has proven it can.
