Aepnus develops low-cost electrolysis equipment to electrify and decarbonize the production of commodity chemicals needed to transition to a carbon-free industry. Salts of Lithium, Sodium, NMC Cathodes, as well as Hydrochloric acid, Sulfuric Acid, and Caustic Soda, are some of the chemicals we currently focus on. By electrifying mineral and chemical refinement trains, we enable domestic production of these materials and position the US as a leader in the global energy transition.
Antora Energy delivers zero-carbon industrial heat and power to heavy industries that are more reliable than fossil fuels. Antora’s thermal energy storage soaks up excess solar and wind electricity and uses it to heat blocks of carbon so they glow like inside a toaster.
Arbor Energy is a planetary renewal company on a mission to build a truly sustainable world. Working in harmony with Earth’s natural rhythms, their technology turns waste into carbon negative energy and fresh water, while permanently removing CO2 from the atmosphere in the process. They envision a solarpunk future with carbon-negative power at the center of a global circular economy - where growth is no longer extractive, but regenerative. A world in tune, a planet in balance.
Avalanche is a VC-backed, fusion energy start-up based in Seattle, WA. We are designing, testing and building micro fusion reactors that you can hold in your hands. Our modular reactor will be capable of being combined however needed to provide clean energy and decarbonize the planet. Our unique approach enables rapid iterations of build, test, fix design cycles.
Our mission is to prevent destructive wildfires by scaling precise fuel treatment. We're firefighters, scientists, engineers, prescribed fire practitioners, ecologists, and community members who are answering the call to scale fuel treatment capacity.
Carbon Crusher is a road tech company that repairs roads in a carbon-negative way. We work with public and private road owners. Carbon Crusher replaces heavy oil with carbon-binding biopolymers and reuse old road materials with our crusher. The result is durable, recycled, and sustainable roads. We are committed to solving climate change and making a positive impact on our planet. Our goal is to change the negative trajectory the planet is on with sound values and innovative solutions. As Margaret Mead once said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has”.
Founded in 2009, CE is a Canadian-based clean energy company leading the commercialization of groundbreaking technology that captures CO₂ directly from the atmosphere, and synthesizes it into clean, affordable transportation fuels. From a pilot plant in Squamish, B.C., CE has been removing CO₂ from the atmosphere since 2015 and converting it into fuels since December 2017.
Carbyon is a Netherlands-based company that develops direct air capture (DAC) technologies. The company's fuels help to replace fossil hydrocarbons with electrical batteries or hydrogen (H2), alternative energy carriers that are used to store renewable electricity and make major changes to transportation facilities, energy grids, and gas transportation networks, filters CO2 from the air and supply it in a purified form to make kerosene for aircraft, enabling existing fossil industry to re-use and repurpose these storage and transport facilities for renewable hydrocarbons.
90% of trade is carried by sea, but the vast majority of cargo ships in use today run on the dirtiest fuel available. At the same time, the shipping industry is not capable of responding to an increasingly dynamic and decentralized economy. CargoKite addresses these problems with an innovative, patent-pending, autonomous micro cargo ship powered solely by wind energy. The 21st century version of a sailing ship is propelled by an Airborne Wind Energy System, whose main component is a kite. By flying at an altitude of 100 to 300 meters, there is always enough wind to power the ship reliably. The newly designed hull makes it possible to harvest wind energy in the most efficient manner and directly transform it into forward motion of the ship. This groundbreaking solution not only eliminates emissions completely, but also accelerates cargo delivery and enables customized routing thanks to the individualized transport capacity of 16 containers.
