Imagine a world without chocolate. Horrifying, right? But the supply of cocoa is endangered and chocolate is as bad as meat for our planet. We make future-proof chocolate using precision fermentation. Doing this, our chocolate is 10x more sustainable and 20% cheaper than conventional chocolate. In order to mimic the organoleptic properties of chocolate (tender, smoothly melting taste release) we are working on the flavor itself but also on replacing the cocoa butter. 55 Mio lbs of chocolate are consumed every day. By 2035 we will substitute a big chunk of it through our sustainable chocolate.

Cbamboo is building the operating system for the world's carbon border taxes. Our mission is to keep firms compliant and drive them to decarbonise their supply chains. Our work focuses on the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), the world's first carbon border tax, which will apply to EU importers in dozens of industries from October 2023. We are developing AI tools to forecast CBAM costs, analyse embodied carbon, model the knock-on effects on prices, and report back on sustainability metrics. Our products will address the needs of importers, who pay CBAM directly, as well as their suppliers and their customers. As carbon border taxes evolve and spread globally, Cbamboo plans to be at the forefront of helping firms to integrate carbon costs into their management decisions.
