About Again
At Again, we are tackling one of the planet's most pressing issues-CO2 emissions-by transforming them into a solution. Our innovative approach involves fermenting industrial waste gases into carbon-negative chemicals, thereby turning harmful emissions into valuable, green chemicals. With each tonne of product we create, we remove over 2 tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere. Backed by over $100 million in funding from top venture capital investors and the European Union's Horizon 2020 programme, we're poised for rapid growth and global impact.
