CREW Carbon Wins $2.35 Million Colorado Clean Air Funding for Wastewater Project

According to a recent LinkedIn post from CREW Carbon, the company has been selected to receive $2.35 million in funding from the Colorado Energy Office under the Clean Air Program. The post indicates that this funding will support deployment of CREW’s process intensification solution at a Colorado wastewater treatment facility.

The LinkedIn post suggests the technology aims to improve operational performance, reduce costs, and enable permanent removal of greenhouse gases within existing infrastructure. The reference to support from Governor Jared Polis and the state’s investment in carbon removal technologies points to growing public-sector backing that could help validate CREW’s approach and potentially catalyze future commercial and policy-driven opportunities.

For investors, this award may signal early traction in securing non-dilutive capital, which could reduce funding risk while CREW scales its solutions. It also positions the company within the broader trend of embedding carbon removal into critical infrastructure, a niche that may benefit from future regulatory incentives, infrastructure spending, and increased demand for cost-effective decarbonization technologies.

If CREW’s implementation at the Colorado facility proves successful, it could serve as a reference deployment to support further sales to utilities and municipalities. The project’s focus on both performance and cost efficiencies may be particularly relevant for budget-constrained public infrastructure operators, potentially expanding CREW’s addressable market and strengthening its competitive position in the climate-tech and wastewater treatment segments.
