About Us
Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges of our time. Sea levels are rising. Storms are intensifying. Extreme heat is displacing vulnerable communities.
Amidst the challenge, we are witnessing an industrial reinvention at a truly unprecedented pace that reduces emissions and stores atmospheric greenhouse gases. Novel decarbonization solutions are being developed and deployed. Governments are banding together to create groundbreaking policies. New markets are being established to bring every business into the fold.
Mangrove’s mission is to enable the world’s most critical projects that support this industrial reinvention. We are building the fabric that connects technology, policy, and markets to help projects reach gigaton scale.
