“Carbon management is a critical pillar of the green industrial transition that will help us slow the pace of climate change. I am honoured to be a part of the Svante carbon capture solution,” said Ms. Fisher. “It is impressive to see a company scale as quickly as Svante has over the past couple of years and I look forward to working with Claude and the team to unlock the company’s next phase of growth as we commercialize around the world.”
