What Decarb Connect does

Decarb Connect is a London-based B2B platform and membership network serving leaders in energy-intensive industrial sectors — including cement, metals and mining, chemicals, petrochemicals, and oil and gas — that are pursuing decarbonisation of their operations. Founded in 2020, the company operates the Decarbonisation Leaders Network (DLN), a paid membership community for industrial decision-makers, and runs a portfolio of in-person conferences and summits across North America (Houston, Boston), Europe (Amsterdam, Antwerp, Germany), the United Kingdom (London, Manchester), and Canada (Toronto), supplemented by webinars, podcasts, and member-vetted reports on topics such as CCUS, Scope 3 emissions, hydrogen, and industrial energy efficiency.

The company's core products are the DLN membership (subscription, enquiry-based pricing with annual billing), regional conference tickets and sponsorships (one-time/per-event payment, with early-bird discounts and VAT for UK buyers), and content products including the Decarb Connect Podcast, an on-demand library of 100+ talks, and sponsored reports (e.g., 'Ones to Watch', 'Scaling up CCUS'). GTM is community-led and event-driven: content, webinars, and regional events feed top-of-funnel demand into DLN membership, with members citing peer-to-peer connections and curated commercial-intelligence content as the primary reasons for ongoing engagement.

The technology stack is standard digital infrastructure — web content delivery, webinar hosting, podcast distribution, and event-registration systems — with no proprietary platform, public API, or disclosed AI/ML capabilities. Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) DLN annual membership subscriptions from 70+ to 200+ industrial members, (2) event ticket sales and sponsorships across a five-plus-conference annual portfolio, and (3) content/report sponsorships from named partners such as Shell Energy, ENGIE Impact, Carbon Clean, Gaffney Cline, and STRIVE by STX. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and a small named leadership team (Founder & CEO Alexandra Cameron, Community Director Jack Figg, Director of Conferences Tom Angus).

Broad incumbents

• S&P Global Commodity Insights: Energy, chemicals, and industrial decarbonisation intelligence provider with paid research, conferences (e.g., Carbon Capture Conference), and customer events. Overlaps with Decarb Connect's content + events model in the same buyer base.
• Reuters Events: The B2B events arm of Reuters, hosting large energy-transition and industrial-decab events (e.g., Reuters Events: Energy Transition). A larger incumbent offering overlapping conferences and content to a similar enterprise audience.
• BloombergNEF: Research, data, and events platform covering energy transition, industrial decarbonisation, and climate finance. Competes for enterprise mindshare and sponsorship in the same hard-to-abate verticals, but with a far broader research subscription footprint.
• Wood Mackenzie: Global energy and natural resources research and consultancy firm that runs industry events and produces energy-transition intelligence. A scaled incumbent competing for industrial-decab audience attention and event sponsorship.

Emerging players

• Carbon Pulse: Carbon markets intelligence and events business covering CCUS, compliance, and voluntary carbon markets. Comparable subscription news + conference model, with stronger depth in carbon markets and CCUS — directly relevant to Decarb Connect's CCUS-heavy content.
• Net Zero Insights: Climate-tech market intelligence and events platform serving investors and corporates tracking decarbonisation startups. Adjacent to Decarb Connect's TechInvest event format, with a similar climate-finance / corporate-buyer bridge.
• Energy Monitor: B2B media platform covering the energy transition with editorial content, events, and a subscriber community of energy and industrial decision makers. Closely mirrors Decarb Connect's content + community model at a smaller, more general scale.

Direct peers

• ICIS: Chemicals and energy market intelligence provider with a strong events and conferences business targeting petrochemical and industrial buyers. Comparable B2B intelligence + events mix serving overlapping chemicals, petrochemicals, and industrial customer base.
• Climate Action: Runs a portfolio of B2B climate and sustainability conferences, awards, and content programs targeting enterprise sustainability and energy leaders. Directly comparable event-and-content business model in an adjacent climate vertical.
• GreenBiz: B2B media and events business focused on sustainable business and climate strategy, operating GreenBiz Forum and Verge conference alongside subscription intelligence. Closely comparable to Decarb Connect's mix of industry events, reports, webinars, and an executive network.
