## About

Based in Edinburgh, UK, and founded in 2016, Carbogenics Ltd. provides sustainable bio-additives which are designed for the anaerobic digestion and wastewater treatment industries. The company was co-founded by Lidia Krzynowek. As of 2023, the firm is headed by its CEO Edward Craig. In February 2026, Carbogenics Ltd. raised an undisclosed amount of venture funding from Dangerous Ventures, with participation from Old College Capital, Scottish Enterprise, Green Angel Syndicate, and other unspecified investors. The round was part of a larger USD 3 million equity and grant funding from Innovate UK and the New Mexico Government.

The company offers CreChar® a functional and sustainable carbon material known as biochar, which is produced by heating biomass to high temperatures in the absence of oxygen. Its low-carbon technology transforms low-value and difficult-to-recycle paper waste, including disposable paper plates, paper towels, paper cups, and more, into a variety of high-value products with uses in horticulture and bioprocess. The firm product has applications in agriculture, wastewater treatment, anaerobic digestion, and many more.

The company plans to use the February 2026 funding to deploy its CreChar biochar product, expand manufacturing in the US, and scale its UK operations to support carbon removal projects.
