Carmeuse Ventures

Carmeuse Ventures is an early-stage corporate venture capital firm investing in climate & deep tech. As an active investor, Carmeuse Ventures can build upon over 160 years of industrial experience in limestone and lime production. We separate ourselves by investing beyond capital; creating a value increase in the start-up through our unique engineering capabilities in lime production & decarbonization, global customer network and feed to port integrated approach. We want start-ups to leverage our internal competences to create win-win beyond capital. We are founder friendly and institutional VC friendly. We invest in lime solutions and have two big investment pillars: - the decarbonization of lime which, among others, covers kiln electrification and optimization of kiln technology, the calcination or lime production process and carbon capture utilization and storage - decarbonization through lime which, among others, covers ocean alkalinity enhancement, direct air capture, decarbonization of transport, carbonation/mineralization technology, carbon dioxide removal through lime, new (green) lime and limestone products
