What Klimate does

Klimate is a Copenhagen-based B2B SaaS company founded in 2020 that operates an end-to-end Carbon Asset Management (CAM) platform enabling enterprises to procure, manage, and report on portfolios of carbon removal projects. The company serves organizations that have already reduced emissions where possible and now need to address residual, hard-to-abate CO2 through high-quality engineered, nature-based, and hybrid removal methods. As of the most recent data, approximately 198,000 tonnes of CO2 have been contracted through the platform, with enterprise customers spanning travel (Hotelplan UK, Intrepid, CPH Airport), financial services (Nykredit, DNB, Storebrand, LB Forsikring), retail and outdoor apparel (66North, Mammut), professional services (Implement, Dalberg, GN Group, ADC), and events.

The core product is the Klimate Platform at platform.klimate.co, structured around three modules: Establish (strategic advisory on carbon removal approach), Implement (access to a vetted project catalogue with aggregated purchasing power via a single standardized contract), and Engage (ongoing asset management, portfolio tracking, and compliance reporting). The platform's proprietary due diligence framework evaluates each project across 292+ data points grouped into Climate Impact, Co-benefits, Integrity, and Outlook categories, independently assured by Deloitte — a deliberate trust signal beyond market requirements. Reporting tools are structured for CSRD, SBTi Net Zero, and other regulatory frameworks, producing audit-ready, traceable reports designed to mitigate greenwashing risk.

Revenue is generated through three streams: transaction fees on carbon removal credit purchases (price per ton plus service fee, with multi-year contracts), platform and advisory subscription-style fees (varying by service scope), and third-party service brokerage fees for CO2 calculation partners. Go-to-market combines product-led growth (self-serve platform access) with enterprise field sales (dedicated expert advisory team) and event-driven demand generation. Klimate operates from Copenhagen with commercial presence across Denmark, Netherlands, UK, Germany, and Sweden. The company has raised approximately €4.2M in total funding (€730K pre-seed in 2021 and €3.5M seed in October 2023 led by Eneco Ventures and Helen Ventures), employs approximately 20 people, and is led by co-founders Mads Emil Dalsgaard (CEO), Simon Bager PhD (COO), and Katja Grothe-Eberhardt (previously Maersk and BCG).

Direct peers

• Patch: Patch is a B2B carbon credit API and platform enabling businesses to embed high-quality carbon offsets (including removal) into their products and operations. Directly comparable to Klimate in carbon credit procurement, portfolio management, and developer-facing API.
• Cloverly: Cloverly provides a carbon offset API and portfolio management platform with a focus on vetted, high-quality credits including removal projects. Comparable to Klimate in project vetting, transaction model, and enterprise customer base.
• Chooose: Chooose is a Nordic-based climate action platform providing APIs and tools for businesses to integrate carbon offsetting (including removals) into their operations. Closest geographic and product-model competitor to Klimate with similar PLG + enterprise hybrid GTM.
• Watershed: Watershed is an enterprise carbon accounting and reduction platform that also facilitates carbon removal purchases. Directly comparable to Klimate in serving enterprise sustainability teams with measurement, procurement, and reporting, though at significantly greater scale and capital.
• Pachama: Pachama is a carbon credit marketplace leveraging satellite verification with a focus on nature-based and engineered removal projects. Comparable to Klimate in vetting, marketplace model, and removal-quality focus.
• Lune: Lune is an API-first platform for embedding high-quality carbon offsets and removals into digital products and services. Comparable to Klimate in transaction-based revenue model and enterprise developer focus.

Emerging players

• Sylvera: Sylvera provides independent ratings and analytics for carbon credits and removal projects. Complementary rather than directly competitive, but increasingly competes for the 'quality assurance' role that Klimate's Deloitte-assured due diligence framework addresses.
• BeZero Carbon: BeZero provides independent ratings and risk analytics for the voluntary carbon market. Adjacent to Klimate's due diligence value proposition and a potential competitor if Klimate expands into carbon credit ratings and analytics.

Broad incumbents

• Persefoni: Persefoni is an enterprise Climate Management & Accounting Platform (CMAP) with broader scope than Klimate across GHG accounting, FinOps-style carbon spend management, and reduction planning. Overlaps with Klimate's reporting and CSRD capabilities but does not focus on removal procurement.
• Rubicon Carbon: Rubicon Carbon is a carbon credit portfolio management and offtake platform serving large corporate buyers and investors. Overlaps with Klimate's portfolio construction and aggregated procurement value proposition but at materially greater scale.
