Carbon capture startup Mitico has raised $4.3 million in seed funding to pilot and scale its innovative CO2 capture technology, which targets industrial point-source emissions.

A Game-Changer for Industrial Decarbonization

Founded in 2022, California-based Mitico offers carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) solutions for industries emitting high levels of CO2. The company’s granulated metal carbonate sorption technology, developed at Caltech, can capture 95% of CO2 while using less energy and lowering costs compared to existing methods.

Mitico has already secured two paid pilot projects for 2025 deployment, with this new funding set to accelerate commercialization.
