Funding fuels 51toCarbonZero’s growth

A London‑based climate‑tech firm is powering up its growth after landing fresh investment to help more businesses hit net‑zero targets.

51toCarbonZero has raised £3 million in a round led by Fuel Ventures, with support from angel backers, just months after the fund’s initial stake. 

The company’s all‑in‑one platform gives clients in sectors from advertising to logistics real‑time carbon data, reduction road‑maps and performance insights, “empowering” them to “take actionable steps towards sustainability”.

Bosses say the cash will bankroll expansion across the UK, Europe and the US, as well as “enhance” new AI features that promise even faster emissions tracking and intuitive action plans. 

Professor Neil Woodcock, co-founder and executive chairman of 51toCarbonZero, said: “This investment marks a pivotal moment for 51toCarbonZero. 

“With Fuel Ventures’ continued support, we're poised to extend our reach and enhance our platform's capabilities, particularly through AI integration. 

“Our mission is to simplify the path to net-zero for companies worldwide, so we can help reduce global emissions by 500 million tonnes CO2e, and this funding brings us closer to achieving that.”

Mark Pearson, founder of Fuel Ventures, added: “Our continued investment in 51toCarbonZero underscores our confidence in their mission and the impressive progress they’ve made since our previous investment. 

“The 51toCarbon Zero team have developed a platform that not only addresses the urgent need for emissions management but also empowers companies to take actionable steps towards sustainability. 

“We're excited to support their expansion into new markets and industries.”
