Carbon Reform is a climate-tech startup founded in 2020 and based in Philadelphia and Delaware that develops indoor air-quality and energy-efficiency solutions for commercial buildings. Its flagship product, the Carbon Capsule®, is a retrofit carbon-reduction system for commercial HVAC that removes CO₂ and other contaminants so clean air can be recirculated. By reducing the need for energy-intensive outside air intake, the Carbon Capsule reportedly lowers building-wide energy costs by up to 20% while improving occupant air quality and reducing emissions. The company also offers indoor air-quality sensors and the Carbon Canister® in-room purification unit and is engaging customers for orders and pre-orders. Several successful pilot deployments are underway, and Carbon Reform plans to bring the Carbon Capsule to the commercial market in Q1 2025. Carbon Reform has raised $5 million in total capital and says the Cisco Foundation investment will accelerate its path to market. Carbon Reform develops a modular retrofit device called the Carbon Capsule that diverts and purifies return air from commercial buildings, removing CO2, volatile organic compounds, particulates, and pathogens. The Carbon Capsule integrates within existing HVAC systems to allow treated air to be safely recirculated to occupants. The company was co-founded by Jo Norris and Nick Martin. Carbon Reform raised $3M in Seed funding and plans to use the proceeds to grow the team and expand facilities. It intends to install its first full-scale pilot units in commercial buildings.
