CarbonBlue is an Israeli climate-tech startup working on new water-based CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) Removal (CDR) removal technology. The firm completed a $10 million Seed funding round.
Even should the world move completely over to Zero greenhouse emissions, there will still be the problem of the damage that has already been done to the environment. There is already a considerable amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, which is causing climate change. The extreme heat this summer is just one example of this. So, a firm like CarbobBlue could very weel provide the key to cleaning the atmosphere.
CarbonBlue’s Direct Water Capture technology is unique in its ability to utilize any type of water in its environmentally friendly process. This universal water compatibility allows integration with any water-utilizing facility, and holds the potential to convert any existing water infrastructure into a CDR asset in the fight against global warming.

CO2 removal technology, also known as carbon removal technology, is a suite of strategies aimed at capturing and storing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. This is crucial in mitigating climate change by reducing the amount of greenhouse gas present in the air.
The relative importance of nature-based and technological solutions for CO2 removal is a subject of ongoing debate. Nature-based solutions are generally seen as being more cost-effective and having a wider range of co-benefits, such as improving air and water quality and providing habitat for wildlife. However, they may also have limitations in terms of their scalability. Technological solutions, on the other hand, have the potential to remove large amounts of CO2 from the atmosphere relatively quickly, but they are often more expensive and energy-intensive.
CarbonBlue boats that the firm’s proprietary technology can remove pure CO2 from any water source, freeing the water up to absorb more CO2 from the atmosphere. Our closed-loop carbon dioxide removal (CDR) process leaves the water chemically unchanged, allowing for its return to the environment without any need for filtration or processing. The extracted CO2 is pure, food-grade, sequestration-agnostic material, meaning it can be sequestered using whatever method makes the most environmental sense for the specific facility’s geolocation and energy considerations.
“The closing of our seed round marks an important chapter in our company’s journey,” said Dr. Dan Deviri, CarbonBlue co-founder and CEO. “It will allow us to expand our collaborations with major players in the climate, energy, and water sectors, and help us solidify and mature our technology and its applications. This vote of confidence from industry leaders validates our approach; it shows that they believe climate change deeply affects their core businesses, and that CarbonBlue’s contribution to this global effort is a significant one.”
