ABOUT US

On a global decarbonization mission

Our Story

ACM was founded in 2021 with the clear view to develop high quality, high impact decarbonization projects. While Alcom specifically focuses on biofuels, ACM covers the broader decarbonization and carbon removals market

Since then, we have made impressive strides and are focused on direct mitigation outcomes through our investments and as direct project developers as well as indirect mitigation outcomes as methodology developers for hard to abate sectors and industries.

ACM understands that Net-Zero is a combined effort and encourages everyone, from curious researchers to large multinationals in the midst of their decarbonization journey, to reach out and discuss interesting ideas/theses, ventures and opportunities for collaboration in the decarbonization space.
