Return Carbon
Overview
Return Carbon is a Dutch investment firm dedicated to developing and investing in sustainable infrastructure and energy transition projects. Their primary focus is on carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies, aiming to reverse climate change by capturing, storing, and utilizing CO₂ in a sustainable manner. They collaborate with technology providers across the value chain, from subsurface storage operators to mineralization developers, linking with direct air capture (DAC), circular industry, and sustainable hydrogen projects. The firm's strategy involves partnering with leading solution providers to create new CO₂ value chains, repurposing CO₂ as a valuable resource for the construction industry through mineralization. They also work on large-scale CO₂ transport and subsurface storage, contributing significantly to global climate goals. Additionally, Return Carbon deploys integrated solutions for efficient DAC and bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) developments, enabling accelerated and low-risk technology implementation. Return Carbon has established strategic partnerships to advance its mission. In November 2022, they collaborated with UK cleantech company Carbon8 to roll out Carbon8’s carbon capture and utilization technology in Belgium and the Netherlands, targeting sectors such as energy from waste, biomass power generation, paper and pulp, and steel production. In May 2022, they partnered with Norwegian infrastructure investment firm CapeOmega AS to develop CCS projects in Northern Europe, supporting efficient solutions and sound management of resources and infrastructure to meet future carbon reduction ambitions and energy demands.
