The net zero economy is the biggest business opportunity of the next 50 years.
Carbon13 is the Venture Builder for the Climate Emergency. Our programmes help entrepreneurs to build companies that adjust economies for a net zero future. Each venture is guided to develop a carbon case and business plan capable of mitigating 10 million tonnes of CO2e per annum once at scale.
