Last week, ALBON took the stage in Munich as one fo the top 10 international student-led climate-tech startups selected for the MIT Climate and Energy Prize Semi-Finals — the world's leading competition for student climate innovation.
Co-founders John Phipps and Tom Bessell pitched our waste-to-value technology, showing how industrial wastewater and CO₂ can be transformed into biochar — a sustainable fertiliser that offers a cost-effective, carbon-negative solution for industries. Lead Controls Engineer Patrick Blampied also joined us in Munich, as part of the team advancing our mission to deliver accessible, real-world climate solutions.
🎤 Our pitch in one sentence: Sustainability doesn’t have to be costly or complex — ALBON is turning waste into value with scalable, profitable solutions.
💡 The biggest barrier to industrial decarbonisation isn’t technology — it’s cost. Businesses want to cut emissions, but many solutions are too expensive or complex. ALBON is changing that.
♻️ By turning waste into value, we provide an accessible, scalable solution for wastewater treatment, soil restoration, and CO₂ removal — all without breaking the bank.
A huge thank you to MIT Climate and Energy Prize, TUM Venture Labs, and SAP Munich for bringing together some of the brightest minds in climate innovation.
