TechCrunch features Skytree's latest funding round to support greenhouses

Is sucking CO2 out of the air rocket science?

Maybe a little rocket science goes a long way in helping make direct air capture technology better.

Rob van Straten, in an exclusive with Climate Tech reporter, Tim de Chant of TechCrunch talks about the recent close of a $6 million seed round led by Horticoop , a cooperative fund investing in businesses that contribute to the horticulture industry, and The Yield Lab Europe, an international Agtech impact VC fund.

The injection of capital will help Skytree accelerate growth and deployment of our technology supporting Controlled Environment Agriculture organizations in their quest to provide food security for a growing population while reducing reliance on fossil fuel-based and unstable CO2 supply.

Our Wins in 2024

2024 has been an exciting year of growth and innovation for Skytree as we continue to push the boundaries of direct air capture (DAC) technology to capture CO₂ directly from ambient air and utilize it in a circular way to create valuable products or permanently store it to reduce atmospheric concentrations. With growing global demand for both removal and utilization, Skytree has focused on innovation, building strategic partnerships, and international expansion to accelerate DAC deployments. This timeline highlights the key milestones we achieved throughout the year, demonstrating our commitment to addressing emissions from hard-to-abate sectors and helping offset historical emissions.
