PHILADELPHIA, PA — Carbon Reform has announced a significant investment from the Cisco Foundation, marking a strategic step forward in their mission to revolutionize building efficiency and indoor air quality. This financial backing is instrumental in accelerating the deployment of their Carbon Capsule®, a pioneering retrofit system designed to enhance HVAC performance in commercial buildings.
The Carbon Capsule® stands at the forefront of Carbon Reform’s offerings, delivering a multifunctional solution that improves air quality, reduces carbon emissions, and cuts energy costs. By filtering CO₂ and other pollutants from indoor air, this technology minimizes reliance on energy-intensive outside air intake. This can result in up to a 20% reduction in building energy expenses, a substantial benefit for building operators aiming to balance sustainability with cost efficiency.
The recent funding round, which brings Carbon Reform’s total capital raised to $5 million, will catalyze the commercial launch of the Carbon Capsule® in early 2025. With several pilot programs already demonstrating success, the company is actively engaging with clients for their air quality solutions, including the Carbon Canister® purification unit and the Carbon Capsule® pre-orders.
Jo Norris, CEO of Carbon Reform, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, noting, “We are thrilled to work with Cisco Foundation, a global impact investment leader, as we embark on this exciting next phase of growth.” This sentiment underscores the synergy between Carbon Reform’s innovative technology and Cisco Foundation’s commitment to climate solutions.
The investment aligns with the Cisco Foundation’s strategy to back pioneering solutions tackling global challenges, part of its broader $100 million commitment over a decade towards climate initiatives. This partnership not only emphasizes Cisco Foundation’s leadership in environmental impact but also validates Carbon Reform’s approach to sustainable infrastructure.
Elias Habbar-Baylac, a Climate Investor, highlighted the strategic alignment, stating, “Carbon Reform’s innovative approach to addressing indoor air quality and climate change aligns perfectly with Cisco Foundation’s focus on bold climate solutions.”
As Carbon Reform prepares to scale its impact, the support from Cisco Foundation is poised to enhance the reach and effectiveness of their climate technology solutions, setting a new standard for sustainable building practices.
