Turnover Labs Announces $1.4M in Funding to Decarbonize the Chemical Industry
Turnover Labs, an early-stage, NYC-based start-up that aims to decarbonize the chemical manufacturing industry and change the way the world produces petrochemicals announced that it has closed a $1.4 Million Pre-Seed funding round. Pace Ventures and GC Ventures are co-leads along with Sandy Spring Climate Partners and a select handful of other leading VC firms.
Turnover Labs leverages proprietary technology pioneered and developed at Columbia University to convert “dirty” CO2 produced in chemical manufacturing – and released into the atmosphere – into valuable chemical building blocks. Founded in 2022, Turnover’s innovative electrolysis technology will allow chemical companies to produce their products without relying on petroleum feedstocks. Research indicates that chemical manufacturing accounts for more than 2 billion tons of CO2 emissions every year; and a majority of these emissions have no current technical solutions for reduction, avoidance, or capture.
