🚀 Big news! We just secured a €2.5M grant from the EU 🇪🇺 EIC Accelerator—one of their most competitive rounds yet—plus an equity investment from the EIC Fund!
This fuels our mission to scale low-carbon fuels across Europe and beyond.

@mona_alsubaei @Molten_Ind @kevinabush @Caleb_C_Boyd Fantastic! Congrats @Caleb_C_Boyd & @kevinabush

Excited to announce our investment in @Molten_Ind
The company was founded by @kevinabush & @Caleb_C_Boyd as an experiment in a small garage that could barely contain their massive curiosity and global mission. @Molten_Ind makes clean hydrogen to decarbonize heavy industries.

I am glad the Senate passed the #InflationReductionAct. Terrible name and still too much stuff in the bill, but great to see some meaningful action on the #ClimateCrisis.

The Inflation Reduction Act that just passed the Senate is a major accomplishment. Not only will it reduce inflation and lower the cost of prescription drugs – it also happens to be the most consequential piece of climate legislation in American history. nytimes.com/2022/08/07/us/…

Arrived back home and spent some lovely time with one small but very important person…
With this, my day is made 😊.
I can start work because I am ready to take on anything the world throws at me 💪🏿 ❤️

The work we are doing at @xfuelhq producing advanced fuels is more important than ever today -- making a meaningful and immediate impact in decarbonising many industries
XFuel@XFuelHQ
The EU recently voted to restrict the use of food crops for biofuel production due to its environmental impact. XFuel exclusively uses biomass feedstock from waste to provide a sustainable and drop-in fuel that can be used with existing infrastructure. euractiv.com/section/biofue…

So psyched to be supporting @nicholas_ball and @xfuelhq to develop sustainable, net-zero drop-in replacement fuels - more below from @mona_alsubaei on @USV's investment from our Climate Fund
Mona@mona_alsubaei
We're thrilled to welcome XFuel to @usv's Climate Fund. XFuel uses waste to produce sustainable low-carbon drop-in fuels for the road, marine, and aviation transport sectors. XFuel displaces conventional fossil fuels, while also limiting emissions from decaying biomass!
