Carbeau is backed by a strong investor consortium comprising GKT, Invest\u2011NL, Al Baleed Petrochemical and NOM, alongside Avantium. Volta Technology is an electrochemical platform that converts CO\u2082 into high-performing chemicals using electricity, enabling the use of CO\u2082 as a raw material rather than a waste stream. Carbeau has secured a total of \u20ac35.2 million in funding. This includes \u20ac23.7 million in cash contributions from external investors and an 11.5 million in-kind contribution (non-cash) from Avantium. Following the transaction, Avantium retains a 32.7% shareholding in Carbeau.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span>The external investor group brings together complementary industrial, financial and regional expertise. Strategic partners comprise GKT GmbH, based in Austria, contributing extensive experience in industrial process technology, and Al Baleed Petrochemical (SFZ), based in Oman, adding petrochemical and international market expertise. Financial partners are Invest\u2011NL, the National Promotional Institution of the Netherlands, supporting the acceleration of innovative and sustainable technologies, and Investment and Development Agency for the Northern Netherlands (NOM) strengthening Carbeau\u2019s connection to the Northern Netherlands\u2019 industrial ecosystem. Together with Avantium, the consortium is well positioned to support Carbeau\u2019s next phase of growth and scale\u2011up ambitions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span>The name Carbeau unites &#8220;Carbon&#8221; and &#8220;Beau&#8221; (beautiful), perfectly capturing the company&#8217;s mission: Making Carbon Work Beautifully. Carbeau shifts the global narrative around CO\u2082 by transforming it from a critical emission challenge into valuable and sustainable materials.<strong>&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.avantium.com\/avantium-spins-out-volta-technology-into--new-company-carbeau-securing-significant-growth-funding\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Avantium Spins Out Volta Technology into New Company Carbeau, Securing Significant Growth Funding https:\/\/newsroom.avantium.com\/avantium-spins-out-volta-technology-into&#8211;new-company-carbeau-securing-significant-growth-funding\/ Publish&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":286169,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/content.presspage.com\/uploads\/3009\/e4d178af-fa1b-48fa-b404-e2b978ee1069\/1920_carbeaulogo_staand_fc_rgb1.jpg?10000","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-286168","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/286168"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=286168"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/286168\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":286170,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/286168\/revisions\/286170"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/286169"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=286168"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=286168"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=286168"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
