Climate technology company Context Labs is looking to raise $150m in funding to help companies track their carbon footprint, reported Reuters, citing sources.
The Netherlands and US-based company has roped in Barclays for the potential fundraising, which could value it over $1bn, one of the sources said.
Large data and energy companies, as well as private equity investors, have expressed interest in Context Labs, the source said, adding that the transaction could close over the coming months.
The sources also cautioned that the talks are still ongoing and there is no certainty that a deal will materialise.
Context Labs helps businesses in the natural gas, chemical, and other industries estimate their carbon emission footprints using machine learning technologies.
Instead of depending on estimations from the industry, it achieves this by collecting and examining data on manufacturing processes directly from the source.
