RENO, Nev. and LUXEMBOURG, April 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- nZero, the leading near real-time carbon management and accounting platform, today announced that it has closed a $16 million Series A funding round that will enable the company to scale amid a global call for better, more accurate tracking and reporting of energy, financial, and greenhouse gas emissions data across the public and private sectors.
