Fuel Ventures leads a £3m investment in 51toCarbonZero to scale operations internationally and upgrade its AI capabilities.
"Our continued investment in 51toCarbonZero underscores our confidence in their mission and the impressive progress they’ve made since our previous investment. The 51toCarbonZero 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."
The investment round was led by IQ Capital and Latitude to accelerate product development and market expansion.
"The world is experiencing an unprecedented demand for power, not only to decarbonise heavy industries but to provide enough resources to handle the surge in AI infrastructure. The energy status quo can’t and shouldn’t sustain these demands. Our vertically integrated technology is already positively impacting customers, enabling them to experience stable, fast charge solutions when they need them the most. I’m delighted to have the confidence of our customers and investors as we further strengthen our mission to push the boundaries of ultra-high-power solutions."
— Sai Shivareddy, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer
The funding round was led by Mercia Ventures and will support team expansion and platform development.
"Our mission is to simplify the complex world of energy and building management systems, empowering building operators to reduce carbon emissions and save money. Our focus on tangible results has led to a huge increase in demand from businesses to join the Grid Edge community. This funding will enable us to welcome more businesses on board, accelerating our growth and extending our reach and impact."
