Heirloom, a San Francisco–based carbon-capture start-up, has raised $53 million in venture capital funding. The firm uses carbon mineralization, like that found in nature to produce limestone, to capture and store carbon.

Investors include Breakthrough Energy Ventures and Microsoft’s Climate Innovation Fund.
