Energy and carbon measurement startup AMEE raises $1M
AMEE, short for “Avoiding Mass Extinctions Engine”, calls itself a platform to track “all the energy data on Earth.” That’s an ambitious goal, but the company is better known for simply tracking CO2 emissions and helping others to reduce their energy consumption.
Based in the United Kingdom, AMEE is working on standardizing the carbon tracking industry. It is working with several hundred organizations to develop the platform and also helps individual companies to cut emissions.
O’Reilly AlphaTech Ventures provided the $1 million first funding for AMEE, according to peHUB.
