Climate change: Tencent chooses Chinese carbon capture and removal start-ups to receive US$13.9 million in funding

Economy

Chinese tech behemoth Tencent is extending around 100 million yuan ($13.9 million) to fund technologies that prevent carbon dioxide emissions and suck the greenhouse gas from the atmosphere in a decarbonisation move that looks beyond solutions such as renewable energy and electric vehicles (EVs).

“Renewable energy, electric vehicles, and nature-based solutions are all examples of such bright spots,” said Xu Hao, Tencent’s vice-president of sustainable social value and head of Tencent’s Carbon Neutrality Lab, in an article published on Thursday, referring to conventional green technologies. “However, these solutions will not be enough.”
