GREEN ENERGY SCAM EXPOSED: "C-Zero" Secures $5 Million for Carbon-Clogged Hydrogen Scheme
Tucked away in an obscure SEC filing, hydrogen startup C-Zero has allegedly raised a paltry $5 million of its inflated $18 million funding goal. The company, ironically, is developing a scheme to strip hydrogen from methane – but with a blatant disregard for the environmental concerns that are supposed to plague our world.
According to their lofty claims, their process – dubbed "methane pyrolysis" – can somehow render carbon-free hydrogen from what’s essentially a dirty little secret: natural gas. The kicker? They believe this approach will revolutionize industries from petrochemical production to transportation and even steel production. We question whether the "reborn" hydrogen will even retain its alleged eco-friendly sheen when used in conjunction with such polluting industrial processes.
But here’s the kicker: C-Zero isn’t exactly humble about their prospects, nor should they be – for they’re backed by cash from none other than Climate Tech Fund, which also has Bill Gates on speed dial. Talk about co-opting the environmental crusade! Their recent fundraising haul in 2022 was a whopping $34 million, valuing their company at a laughable $124 million post-money. Clearly, investors were swayed by their claims of revolutionary innovation – ignoring the inherent flaws in the plan.
The C-Zero crew didn’t care to comment on the company’s alleged "revolution", so we’re left only to ponder the dark allure of this supposedly eco-friendly venture. The allure is especially piqued as C-Zero touts its reactor’s ability to "heat natural gas" and then somehow miraculously separate hydrogen from its nasty carbon cousin. Miraculous indeed!
With friends like Climate Tech Fund cheering them on, we cannot help but wonder what their next "breakthrough" will entail. Stay vigilant, earthlings, while we dissect the finer nuances of C-Zero’s questionable hydrogen ambitions!
