Gigaton
Self-learning AI process control for energy-intensive industry
About Gigaton
Gigaton (formerly Carbon Re) is a London industrial AI company building self-learning process-control software for energy-intensive plants in cement, steel, glass and chemicals—sectors that account for roughly 20% of global greenhouse-gas emissions. Spun out of the University of Cambridge and UCL and rebranded from Carbon Re in May 2026, Gigaton’s platform sits inside existing plant infrastructure, using simulations and predictive models to evaluate decisions before adjusting actuators such as fuel mix, kiln speed and oxygen levels, while explaining actions to operators and retraining on live plant data. CEO Josh Vernon leads the team after earlier seed rounds as Carbon Re (including a £4.2M seed led by Planet A Ventures). In June 2026 Gigaton raised a $26 million Series A led by Plural, with 2150, Semapa Next and returning Planet A Ventures, Cambridge Enterprise Ventures, UCL Technology Fund (AlbionVC/UCL Business) and Clean Growth Fund, bringing total funding to more than $35 million to scale autonomous industrial control. CAUTION: OOW launch ~2020 with clear 2026 Series A. Sources: Tech.eu 3 Jun 2026; Cambridge Enterprise; gigaton.co rebrand May 2026.
