GDI is focused on advanced chemistry and energy storage for E-mobility and advanced electronic devices. We are developing a roll to roll coating process to manufacture a 100% silicon anode for Li-ion batteries, protected by issued US patents. This would, for example, enable an EV battery with 30% longer range and charging 80% in 15 minutes hundreds of times. This will accelerate manufacturing of Li-ion in the UK, EU, and US. The key barrier is charging speed, now that range is over 300 miles. GDI’s silicon anode can enable 250 miles of charge in 15 minutes. All this, while reducing the environmental impact of battery manufacturing with a method that has 50% of the CAPEX and 50% the factory footprint. GDI finished top 5 out of 1,000 companies in InnoEnergy’s Global Call and they have partnered with us to enter the European market. We are in the middle of a Series A round and have filled half the round and are looking for European investors that can also assist in commercialization.

IFS develops advanced fluid heating equipment to unlock industrial productivity and decarbonize manufacturing operations. Our ‘middle-out’ fluid heating platform heats flowing fluids 8-10x more effectively than conventional, fossil-based heating that heats from the ‘outside-in.’ We deploy our skidded, modular units to existing manufacturing sites and bolt-on to existing production assets to improve processing performance. Scaled implementations avoid up to 4,000MT CO2e per year and unlock $500k USD of additional production per line. Customers include manufacturers in the food & beverage, snacks, and specialty chemical sectors, with projects underway heating fluids ranging from maple syrup to monomers.

Leading Edge Equipment Technologies is developing a disruptive alternative to the traditional wafer production process which uses large single-crystal ingots.  Our patented Floating Silicon Method (FSM ™) process makes single crystal ribbons of silicon which are then laser cut and prepared for down-stream solar cell processing steps. By eliminating the need for wire sawing and the subsequent reduction in raw material usage, our process not only saves cost, it also has a major impact on CO2 emissions. With full industry adoption, Leading Edge can reduce industry-wide CO2 emissions by 40%, saving over 1 Gton per year of CO2.  And with lower oxygen content than traditional silicon wafers, the FSM process not only reduces silicon wafer cost and CO2 emissions, but it can increase module output power by up to 7%.

Lydian Labs aims to accelerate the decarbonization of the chemical industry by electrifying the chemical production process. Using scalable additive and subtractive manufacturing techniques (e.g. selective laser melting, dealloying), Lydian Labs is developing catalytic heating elements that use electricity (renewable, when available) as the main source of process energy. Concentrating the energy input onto a high surface area, monolithic catalyst structure allows for large advances in process intensification and energy efficiency, leading to a decrease in reactor volumes of up to 100x. This platform technology enables a profitable, industry-wide shift away from fossil fuel combustion-based heat, leading to CO2 reductions of up 1.3 GtCO2eq per year.

Power to Hydrogen is accelerating the transition to a clean energy future by dramatically improving the economics of renewably derived green hydrogen and energy storage. We do this with Clean Energy Bridge™, a reversible electrolyzer and fuel cell that offers a number of key advantages including high pressure operation, low system cost, and high asset utilization. Based on proprietary technology, a single unit delivers multiple services – high pressure, high purity hydrogen, high purity oxygen, peak shaving, backup power and microgrid/grid resilience. NASA and Shell are supporting development to apply tech to lunar energy storage and offshore wind+hydrogen respectively.

Through our patented technology, Trillium Renewable Chemicals is replacing oil and gas with biorenewable feedstocks in the manufacturing of green, drop-in molecules like acrylonitrile and propylene glycol.

Elonroad have developed a high-tech electrified road system that enables continuous charging through a conductive rail integrated into the asphalt. This retrofittable, cost-effective solution enables a topped-up battery at a much lower capacity and therefore weight, initiating a positive loop of downscaling the vehicles (less weight=smaller/lighter drivetrain components). It is particularly suitable to local public busses, e-taxis, short- to medium-distance trucks and similar transport/carrier solutions. Fast-charging (on-the-go) and charging services are growing business fields due to the high future demand of the electrified vehicle fleet. Furthermore, the system encounters growing interest for stationary charging, e.g. at homes, ports, delivery warehouses etc.

Kasi Tech have developed a dual hybrid system called NESS, with a centre section that slots seamlessly between OME generator and turbocharger systems and can provide additional e-boost. This technology for combustion engine can cost-effectively reduce real CO2 impact on vehicle fleet average. This solution supports all current OEM product functions, such as start/stop, brake and waste heat energy recovery, mechanical & electrical supercharging, and turbocharging. NESS is 100% retrofittable yielding 13-18% fuel and resultant emissions savings at 70% lower production cost than competing solutions. The transformation towards a fully electric mobility world will take decades and even then, there will be combustion/based engines, for example hydrogen or e–fuel based. KASI provide both a “bridging technology” as well as a inexpensive and easily-fitted reduction for fleets of vehicles using ICEs in the future.

Rebase have developed their own platform and AI-based data analysis API to make weather forecasts more precise. Using databases from many different weather services the system can help grid providers, smart grid owners, energy aggregators, high-consumption users (with need to match their PPA-stipulated terms), renewable energy producers, and “middleman” agents dealing on switch markets with increasing efficiency of the interplay between supply and demand of energy.
Intermittency control is key with the growing renewable energy and smart distribution markets – forecasts will be up to 20% more precise which enables higher margins to be built in the overall market. Furthermore, they enable using AI decision agents that support the client in making the right call at the right time; these services in particular have a highly versatile future in an increasingly complex market that, to run effectively, will need to be machine-analyzed. Furthermore, Rebase have started to develop inner-city renewable energy planning based on their weather forecasts.

Retex has developed, in collaboration with large manufacturing/chemical companies, the process and machines for reprocessing textile, plastic and rubber waste (from e.g. construction or fashion industry) into a replacement for orthodox construction panelling. The panels are 100% water and mold resistant, 100% fire-resistant, 100% recyclable, 100% eco-friendly, no pollutants or toxic chemicals, have a low CO2 impact in production and the plan is to process 1 million cubic meters of panels within 5 years freeing over 300,000 tons of textile waste every year, equal to more than 10% of the total waste generated in the EU.
Of 2 million tons of textile waste, 95 % could be recycled and the times are calling for high-impact technology to address on of the most pressing issues of our time.
