What happened
- Selected under the FY2026 Environmental Conservation Research Subsidy, Environmental Startup R&D Support Programme, Phase 3, administered through the Environmental Restoration and Conservation Agency. One of five Phase 3 recipients. Scope is adsorbent manufacturing scale-up and prototype demonstration.
Kumo note
- A public subsidy that pays out only against private capital raised alongside it: the programme caps payment at twice whatever venture investment the company secures. The headline is what could be drawn over four years if the company both spends and raises to plan, not money in hand.
