The Next 150, founded by Patrick Atanasije Pineda and Constantin Ekierman, has raised $2 million in seed capital from Kemexon SA, with additional capital earmarked for investment to develop, scale and industrialize climate technologies, such as biochar production from waste biomass and its incorporation in soil and construction materials.
The Kemexon group is a global trading and supply chain logistics company with over 20 years of activity across a range of commodity products. „We look forward to exploring opportunities and uncovering synergies with our existing interests in biomass markets, in support of the energy transition and a path to decarbonization.“ – Alexia Bricout, co-CEO of Kemexon
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC, estimates that by 2050, we will need to remove 3-12 billion tons of CO2 from the air every year in order to meet the Paris Agreement goals. The Next 150 is developing high-quality emissions removal projects with a boots-on-the-ground approach.
