Chevron (CVX) Leads $318M Raise for Svante's Series E Round
Read MoreHide Full Article
Chevron (CVX - Free Report) announced that it led a $318-million fundraising round for Canada-based carbon capture tech firm, Svante, being the lead investor in the latter’s series E round. Svante, which develops filters to capture industrial carbon emissions for storage or reuse, will use the funds to accelerate the manufacturing of its carbon capture technology.
The investment by CVX will also support Svante’s filter-manufacturing unit in Vancouver, which is expected to produce enough filter modules to capture millions of tons of carbon dioxide per year across hundreds of large-scale carbon capture and storage facilities.
CVX, in 2021, launched Chevron New Energies (“CNE”) to accelerate lower-carbon business opportunities in carbon capture, utilization, and storage (“CCUS”), hydrogen, renewable fuels and products, offsets and emerging technologies. Moreover, the energy giant intends to invest $10 billion in lower carbon projects through 2028, emphasizing that it remains committed to collaborating in new ways to quicken progress.
Chris Powers, vice president of CCUS with CNE, stated that the company is advancing a full value chain CCUS business and believes that Svante is poised to be a leader in enabling carbon capture solutions. “Innovation is key to enabling these types of breakthrough technologies and lower carbon solutions, and we look forward to applying our experience and expertise to help drive this effort forward,” he added.
Chevron is one of the largest publicly traded oil and gas companies in the world with operations spanning worldwide. The only energy component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, CVX is fully integrated as it participates in every aspect related to energy, from oil production to refining and marketing.
