Arbor Energy has modified its power plant to burn natural gas in addition to biomass, shifting from a "vegetarian rocket engine" to an omnivore.
The company, founded by former SpaceX engineers, initially developed a power plant that removed carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by burning plant waste.
This week, Arbor Energy announced a $55 million Series A funding led by Lowercarbon Capital and Voyager Ventures, following a partial pivot in its approach.
Arbor Energy's power plant is going to be more of an omnivore, capable of burning natural gas in addition to biomass.
