Arbor Energy Raises $55M for Carbon-Capture Power Plants That Burn Gas and Biomass
Arbor Energy has reportedly secured $55 million in Series A funding as the startup adapts its carbon-capture power technology to burn natural gas in addition to biomass. The pivot comes amid surging electricity demand from data centers, with the company aiming to deploy its technology more widely while maintaining carbon capture capabilities. Sources indicate the funding was led by Lowercarbon Capital and Voyager Ventures.
From Vegetarian to Omnivore Power
Arbor Energy, founded by former SpaceX engineers, is reportedly shifting its carbon-capture power plant technology toward what industry observers are calling an “omnivore” approach. According to recent reports, the company’s systems will now burn natural gas alongside the biomass they were originally designed to process.
