“This is more than just another climate tech fund,” says Sebastian Heitmann, Partner at Extantia. “To reach net zero, we need a major change across the economy and mobilisation of all market players. Over the past two years, we built a platform to catalyse this movement. We provide economically and ecologically viable investment alternatives to asset managers; education and knowledge to industry leaders and policymakers; and capital and domain expertise to entrepreneurs.”

Extantia says it will conduct a rigorous Carbon Maths assessment before its investment to have a significant and timely impact. The company’s primary interests are energy, industrial processes, buildings, transportation, and carbon removal technologies. Examples include sustainable fuels and petrochemicals, hydrogen supply chains, renewable baseload power, and direct air capture. 

To calculate the impact and other factors, the VC uses Extantia Ignite. It brings together scientists, ESG, and sustainability experts to create transparency and science-based guidelines for the climate innovation ecosystem. 

The VC’s team uses these tools to evaluate and report climate impact, helps portfolio companies implement ESG best practices, and provides actionable insights to investors.

“Extantia Ignite is where industry meets technology and science,” says Dr. Laura-Marie Toepfer, Partner at Extantia. “By combining our scientific carbon measurement with sustainable investing, our hub is designed to engage and empower all stakeholders — entrepreneurs, policymakers, family business leaders, and institutional investors — to achieve their net-zero targets and that of their customers. In addition, we regularly publish our work to advance thought leadership and foster public discussion.”

Extantia Capital: What you need to know

Extantia Capital is a climate-first venture capital firm that unites mission-driven entrepreneurs, scientists, investors, and business leaders to advance the transition. Notable portfolio companies include H2Pro, INERATEC, GA Drilling, BeZero, and Reverion.
