Neutreeno helps businesses tackle Scope 3 emissions by offering advanced tools to decarbonise supply chains up to 50 times faster than traditional methods, driving the global shift to a low-carbon economy.
Zoe Loughlin, who leads the Canopy innovation community, gives her insights on the Cambridge innovation ecosystem and follows Neutreeno as the Cambridge-born cleantech startup grows from strength to strength.
We all know the old proverb: it takes a village to raise a child. Well, it takes an ecosystem to scale a startup. This is the story of Neutreeno, a cleantech startup born in Cambridge, and an example of the difference a thriving innovation community can make in scaling new ventures.
From its roots in the Department of Engineering to programme support at the Judge Business School (JBS), funding from Cambridge Enterprise Ventures, and now an active member located in Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership's (CISL) Canopy Innovation Hub, Neutreeno is moving quickly from campus innovation to a potential global decarbonisation leader.
Born and based in Cambridge but scaling globally
Neutreeno was conceived within the vibrant academic and research environment of Cambridge, where its team— a group of Cambridge scientists and engineers who inform international climate policy at the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change (IPCC) and the International Energy Agency (IEA)—developed a rigorous, science-driven approach to tackling emissions. Today, the company remains deeply rooted in Cambridge, while ambitiously scaling its groundbreaking technology across the globe.
Their intelligent deeptech system harnesses proprietary industrial production networks and advanced optimisation algorithms from their research to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions at the source. By addressing the lion’s share of corporate emissions in Scope 3, Neutreeno is accelerating decarbonisation and redefining how sustainability is managed within complex supply chains. By making decarbonisation simple, trustworthy and effective, Neutreeno has helped businesses cut costs by becoming more material and energy efficient—a recent case study with a major Asian manufacturer showed savings of more than €1.6 million a year with Neutreeno’s system, a leap forward for industries striving to meet ambitious climate goals and future-proof their business.
