Carbonless is a rapidly growing innovation and investment platform with the mission to mobilize and channel as much smart investment into scalable, successful technology companies and decarbonizing projects as possible. We bring together capital, mature technologies, investable opportunities, market leading enterprises and government entities to contribute to the low carbon economic and industrial transition.
Everything we do is in partnership with aligned organizations. We highlight here some of them with gratitude.
Capital
Our business revolves around connecting smart, strategic capital and technology companies that are best placed to be the winners of the low carbon economic and industrial transition. We execute towards our goals through Funds & Advisory activities and we have built an edge across the Asia-Pacific markets with a global outlook.
Funds
Our strategy is to design, build and manage technology investment funds in partnership with domain expert asset managers. We bring expertise, deal-flow, capital and strategic ecosystem specific to decarbonization along with our early stage investment experience and Asia-Pacific know-how.
Advisory
We help select companies with their fundraising efforts by introducing them to our qualified investor community. We do this, because our fund partnerships will allow us to provide principal investment into only a handful of companies within a predefined mandate, whilst the investable universe and need for technologies is immense.
Innovation
We help our private and public partners identify scalable, investable and commercially relevant technology solutions that help them achieve specific decarbonization and business goals. We do this through our Innovation Challenge framework, tailor made projects on demand and venture building.
Carbonless Asia Challenge
Our innovation challenge series is based on business briefs with a decarbonization angle from market leading corporations and government entities. Our team works closely with our program partners to source and match the most fitting and scalable technologies for the given cause.
Technology Sourcing
For the specific cases when our team or our partners identify a gap in the market, we remain open for building new ventures with relevant partners. We bring deep know-how of carbon markets, understanding the landscape decarbonization-related technology solutions and our strategic ecosystem from Asia-Pacific and the Middle-East.
Knowledge
To deliver on our mission and to further the global dcarbonization agenda, we believe it is essential to accelerate the sharing of industrial and technology best practices. We are committed to contribute to this process through research, publications and connecting relevant business leaders across Asia-Pacific.
Our Book
When we started Carbonless Asia in 2021, there was little knowledge gathered around decarbonization related technology trends and the opportunities around them. We decided to do this research to help the development of our investment thesis and with World Scientific Publishing, we believed it was a good idea to share our findings with everyone.
After our book launch, we received numerous inquiries for bespoke research in the same context of decarbonization, innovation and investment opportunities. As we have the right people on board for such a service, at the start of 2023 we decided to start providing research services on demand for private, public and NGO clients.
From time to time, we also publish public reports. You may review our Carbonless Technology Radar 2023 or the Advisory Summary of the IEA’s Net Zero by 2050 Report.
Events
Whether it is policies regarding the net zero economic transition, specific deals or commercial opportunities, capital and technology, it is ultimately all about people. We organize Carbonless Salons and online events with select partners throughout the year, always for a well-curated audience with a multi-stakeholder approach.
Check out our Salon and Unconference reference video and our first ever event format from 2021, the Carbonless Asia Forum that keeps on building momentum.

Carbonless is a decentralized platform for a committed and aligned group of experts with an edge in decarbonization cross-border businesses growth. Beyond our core team and advisory group, we are actively nurturing and expanding our network of founders, scientists, business leaders and investors in the region and around the world. We work together on specific projects, carbon opportunities and deals with our partners and portfolio companies for a carbonless future.
The Team
The Carbonless team is an example of like-minded people joining forces to achieve shared goals. Everyone brings a different set of skills and a different motivation, but the mission is the same: decarbonization through technology and innovation.
