ClimeFi Unlocks Access To XPRIZE Winners With New Carbon Removal Portfolio Offering - CleanTechnica
ClimeFi has launched a new carbon removal portfolio that grants corporate buyers, climate investors, and procurement managers streamlined access to a diversified selection of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies. These technologies were vetted and recognized through the XPRIZE Carbon Removal competition, which evaluated over 1,300 global teams and awarded top prizes to breakthrough projects such as Mati Carbon’s Enhanced Rock Weathering, NetZero’s Biomass CDR and Storage, Vaulted Deep’s underground waste storage, and UNDO Carbon’s Enhanced Rock Weathering. Together, these projects represent promising, scalable pathways for permanent atmospheric CO₂ removal. The ClimeFi portfolio offers a simplified, efficient procurement process by providing a single point of access to multiple validated technologies, pre-negotiated contracts, and lower minimum purchase thresholds, aiming to deliver over 50,000 tonnes of carbon removal by 2030. This approach addresses the growing demand for credible, durable, and auditable carbon credits in the maturing voluntary carbon market, combining rigorous scientific validation with commercial readiness. The collaboration between ClimeFi and XPRIZE exemplifies how competitions and asset management platforms can work together to scale global carbon removal solutions by connecting capital with vetted, investable projects.

Beewise Inc., a climate technology company specializing in AI-powered robotic beekeeping, has closed a $50 million Series D funding round, bringing its total capital raised to nearly $170 million. The company developed the BeeHome system, which uses artificial intelligence, precision robotics, and solar power to provide autonomous, real-time care to bee hives. This innovation addresses the critical decline in bee populations—over 62% of U.S. colonies died last year—threatening global food security due to bees’ essential role in pollinating about three-quarters of flowering plants and one-third of food crops. BeeHome enables continuous hive health monitoring and remote intervention by beekeepers, resulting in healthier colonies, improved crop yields, and enhanced biodiversity. Since its 2022 Series C financing, Beewise has become a leading global provider of pollination services, deploying thousands of AI-driven robotic hives that pollinate over 300,000 acres annually for major growers. The company has advanced its AI capabilities using recurrent neural networks and reinforcement learning to mitigate climate risks in agriculture. The latest BeeHome 4 model features Beewise Heat Chamber Technology, which eliminates 99% of lethal Varroa mites without harmful chemicals. The new funding round, supported by investors including Fortissimo Capital and Insight Partners, will accelerate Beewise’s technological innovation, market expansion, and research efforts to further its mission of saving bees and securing the global food supply.
