Recognised for Sustainability and the Circular Economy
On 12 June 2025, The Carbon Removers won the 2025 British Renewable Energy Award in the Sustainability and the Circular Economy category. This recognition celebrates the powerful impact of our collaboration with Iona Capital Ltd (now Kanadevia Inova) and the dedication of our entire team.
Delivering Carbon Removal at Scale
This award recognises our breakthrough project, launched in July 2023, this carbon removal project is already capturing, reusing and permanently sequestrating biogenic CO₂ from Iona Capital’s biomethane plants across the UK. We expect our collaboration will remove 1 million tonnes of CO₂ per annum by the early 2030s, delivering real-world, scalable, circular solutions.
Truly grateful to the team at Kanadevia Inova for their trust and vision in helping us to bring our project to life through their commitment to tackling climate change through investing in practical, permanent carbon sequestration.
Strong Partnerships, Real Results
A big thank you to everyone involved in the project, many of whom joined us at the Sheraton Grand London Park Lane to celebrate this milestone. It takes a special team to make carbon removal happen right here, right now – and it was great to celebrate this together.
Many thanks to the Renewable Energy Association (REA) for spotlighting initiatives that advance the UK’s journey toward decarbonisation. This award energises our mission to continue building high-quality biogenic carbon solutions today.
Let’s continue to Make it Real – Onwards!
