Milvus Advanced has successfully raised its seed round to scale industrial-scale substitution of critical elements with next-generation nanoalloy technologies with funding from Hoxton Ventures, Lowercarbon Capital, and participation from LQD VC Ventures, Übermorgen Ventures, Tuesday Capital, Mark Leslie, van Den Bosch Dynasty Fund, Bluebirds, MD One Ventures and EQT Foundation. Why it matters: At a time when trade disputes and demand surges have made domestic and alternative mineral sources a front page news story on a daily basis, Assia Kasdi and her team asked 'what if the periodic table did not limit us?' Milvus is redefining what is possible in material performance, and thus opening a new frontier for accelerating clean energy, advanced manufacturing and next-generation electronics. We're delighted Milvus has attracted the attention of esteemed Axios climate tech reporter Katie Fehrenbacher, who has more to say here. https://lnkd.in/e76Unbtd

"German Cleantech Startup enaDyne Raises €7M to Transform CO₂ Emissions into Valuable Chemicals." Leipzig based cleantech innovator enaDyne has secured €7 million in seed funding to advance its groundbreaking technology that converts industrial CO₂ emissions into valuable chemicals like methanol and ethylene, while simultaneously eliminating PFAS, the so called “forever chemicals.” The round was co-led by Amadeus APEX Technology Fund (a joint venture between Amadeus Capital Partners and APEX Ventures) and Energy Capital Ventures®️, with additional backing from Antares Ventures, Possible Ventures, and angel investors Wolfram Drescher, Andreas Werner, and Sven Sieber. enaDyne’s non thermal plasma technology is redefining the chemistry of sustainability. By achieving conversion rates above 70%, the company is proving that carbon can be upcycled into high value feedstocks instead of being released into the atmosphere, a game changing approach that aligns with global efforts to decarbonize heavy industry and build a circular carbon economy. The newly raised funds will power the construction of enaDyne’s first pilot plant, expected by mid 2026, marking a critical milestone toward scalable, climate friendly chemical production. As the founders put it: “We’re setting a new standard for climate friendly chemistry and showing that CO₂ is not just a waste product, but a valuable resource.” In an era where decarbonization and clean tech innovation are shaping the future of manufacturing, enaDyne’s plasma-driven process could become a cornerstone of sustainable industrial transformation, turning emissions into economic opportunity. #CleanTech #CarbonInnovation #Sustainability #ClimateTech #CO2Conversion #GreenChemistry #CircularEconomy #DeepTech #Decarbonization #FutureOfIndustry #EnergyTransition #NetZero #InnovationLeadership #ImpactInvesting #cxolanes #UKTech #EuropeanStartups #ChemicalRevolution

Brooklyn-based startup Vycarb has raised $5 million in seed funding led by Twynam, with support from MOL Switch LLC, Hatch Blue, Clocktower Ventures, Idemitsu, and SGInnovate. The company is developing a water-based carbon capture system that converts CO₂ into stable bicarbonate using natural waters and minerals, cutting costs to under $100 per tonne. Founded by Dr. Garrett Boudinot in 2022, Vycarb’s technology enables on-site, measurable carbon storage. Its pilot on New York’s East River already captures 100 tonnes of CO₂ annually, with plans to scale across industrial sites.

Hydryx, an Amsterdam-based ClimateTech startup addressing methane emissions from landfills, has raised €2.5 million in a Seed round to scale across Europe, transforming waste into clean energy. The round was led by impact investor Marcel Smits and Graduate Entrepreneur Fund, with support from a network of mission-driven angel investors.

Excited to announce Antares Ventures' investment in enaDyne’s €7 million seed round, co-led by Amadeus APEX Technology Fund (APEX Ventures, Amadeus Capital Partners) and my friends Victor Pascucci III and Stefano Galiasso of Energy Capital Ventures®️, alongside Possible Ventures and returning angels Germany-based enaDyne, led by Philipp Hahn and Christian Koch, has developed modular non-thermal plasma reactors that cut industrial emissions like CF₄, PFAS, NOX, and VOCs while turning them into basic chemicals such as ethylene and methanol, essential feedstocks for industries like packaging, textiles, and electronics. For Asia, with fast-growing manufacturing, large semiconductor footprints, and a heavy reliance on imported petrochemicals, the impact is clear: cleaner air and more local production. At Antares, we see industrial decarbonisation not only as an environmental imperative but also as a defining opportunity for Asia’s next growth chapter. enaDyne’s technology can scale into semiconductor fabs, petrochemical plants, and renewable energy facilities, creating cleaner air and greater resource independence for the region.
