🚀 ALBON at the MIT Climate and Energy Prize Semi-Finals in Munich! 🇩🇪 🧪

Mar 22, 2025

Wiley Park

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.

This is just the beginning — let’s make sustainability accessible for all! 🌱
