Karman Industries Raises $7.5M for Manufacturing Decarb

Karman Tackles Industrial Decarbonization

Karman Industries has raised $7.5 million in a Series A to scale its technology for reducing carbon emissions from industrial manufacturing processes. The January 2025 round funds the scaling of solutions that address one of the most challenging sectors to decarbonize.

The Manufacturing Emissions Challenge

Industrial manufacturing accounts for a significant share of global carbon emissions, yet the sector has received far less attention from climate tech investors than energy or transportation. Karman addresses this gap with technology designed to reduce emissions from manufacturing operations without requiring companies to completely replace their existing infrastructure, a pragmatic approach that lowers adoption barriers.

Brownfield Decarbonization Strategy

Rather than demanding that manufacturers adopt entirely new processes, Karman's solutions integrate with existing facilities to deliver measurable emissions reductions. This brownfield approach accelerates deployment timelines relative to greenfield alternatives that require building new facilities from scratch. For manufacturers facing growing regulatory pressure and corporate sustainability commitments, Karman offers a path to meaningful emissions reduction without operational disruption.
