Gigaton raised $26 million in Series A funding, led by Plural, to scale its AI platform for reducing industrial emissions across the cement, steel, glass and chemicals sectors. The company's self-learning technology replaces legacy plant control systems, autonomously adjusting fuel mix, kiln speed and oxygen levels based on live operational data rather than operating on top of existing software.

Current deployments at Adani Cement, Heidelberg Materials, Holcim and Mannok Holdings have delivered up to $3 million in annual savings and reduced CO₂ emissions by as much as 30,000 tonnes per plant.

As energy-intensive industries face mounting cost pressures and emissions targets, Gigaton shows how purpose-built AI control systems are emerging as a more effective path to industrial decarbonization than traditional monitoring tools.
