Cellular agriculture uses microorganisms and bioreactors instead of traditional animal farming and can provide significant environmental improvements compared to the animal-based protein production. Onego Bio is a Finnish biotech company producing animal-free egg proteins with a cellular agriculture method called precision fermentation. Its mission is to rethink eggs and give people access to sustainable, delicious and healthy animal-free food.

AirForesty

AirForestry’s groundbreaking technology makes it possible to thin out the forests in a completely new way, namely from the air with high-capacity drones. Through our innovative thinning, we contribute to reducing carbon dioxide emissions from forestry work while increasing the forest’s ability to sequester carbon.

For 11 years the Nordic Cleantech Open has brought together entrepreneurs, investors, industry and government to shape the innovation landscape with the goal of building a more sustainable future. The organizer of the competition, Cleantech Scandinavia, aims to bridge the gap between innovators looking for funding and venture capital looking for new opportunities of climate impact investments.

The 25 selected companies bring promising and ready-to-scale innovations and market proposition, and they were selected out of 137 applicants by a jury of about 50 international members from venture capital firms, multinational industries, the utility sector, development agencies and the public investment scene. These experts were the ones to analyse the 137 applications based on their level of innovation, market potential and the ability of the team to execute.

Air Forestry AB

Sweden

AirForestry is focused on creating healthier forests by thinning out trees from the sky with autonomous and electric aerial harvesting drones, without damaging the soil, roots or nature. By using the company’s drones, you can increase the forests’ ability to sequester carbon by freeing up 20 percent of forest land currently used for forestry access roads. Since their launch in 2020, AirForestry has grown to more than 22 employees.

Arctus Aluminium Ltd

Iceland

Zero CO2 emission is the goal for the aluminium industry which has been working for decades on development of CO2 emission free process by replacing the carbon anodes. The Icelandic company Arctus Aluminium has developed a aluminium process with multiple vertical metallic inert anodes and ceramic cathodes in low temperature (800 °C) electrolyte according to the process formula; 2 Al2O3 = 4 Al + 3 O2. Oxygen is therefore emitted instead of CO2. Arctus is now working with our industrial partner Trimet Aluminium in Germany in scaling up the cells for a pilot plant in Essen and then a demonstration plant.

Awake.ai

Finland

Awake.AI is an optimization platform for port bound cargo flow reducing turnaround times and waiting times by 20-30% which reduces emissions at the same rate. The logistics industry is lagging behind in automation within the digital revolution. This leads to millions of extra CO2 produced and billions of euros wasted for non-value adding outdated basic logistic operations. Trajectory for emissions shows the industry must optimize the logistic chains, reduce the cargo flow waste and have solutions for capacity utilization increase. Awake’s AI software platform does just that.

B’zeos

Norway

Recycling is not solving our global plastic pollution issues. Bio plastics made from land-based feedstock are creating more issues than solutions, banning Single Use Plastics impact both food and non-food industries. B’zeos uses brown seaweed, also known as brown kelp, to make a new flexible film packaging material that is home-compostable, marine degradable, bio-digestible and non-chemically modified. This material has comparable properties to plastic but are 100% bio-based, renewable and are not chemically modified, and therefore not considered as plastic following the Single Use Plastic Directive Guidelines (SUPD).

DynElectro

Denmark

The world needs CO2-neutral fuels. This is where green hydrogen comes into the equation but the lifetime of the core materials is the current limitation for the hydrogen’s electrolysis process. DynElectro has discovered a way to extend lifetime by up to 5x.

Current electrolysis systems operate on direct current (DC). With a modified power converter, we overlay an alternating current (AC) on top of the direct current. We do this hundreds of times per second. This rapid and reversing current acts to impact and protect the molecular structure of the core material performing the valuable electrolysis process.

InfoTiles

Norway

Globally, using water sustainably is becoming more important. Ageing infrastructure, inadequate investment and changing climate are all contributing to an internationally recognised crisis. Data can help address these challenges, but legacy equipment provides disconnected data that is not fit for decision-makers. InfoTiles provides software that combines and enriches data from different silos, including legacy water utility systems. When enriched with public data, utilities discover new insights and make sustainable decisions based on facts leading to sustainable water use in our communities.

Klimate Aps

Denmark

Klimate help companies compensate for their unavoidable CO₂ emissions with portfolios combining different carbon removal methods. Allowing companies to:

• Take full responsibility for their emissions.
• To help scale an industry that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has determined to be necessary for us (the world) to achieve the targets set forth by the Paris agreement.

Studies show that companies that take action will reap rewards from stakeholders (e.g customers, employees or investors). Hence carbon removal is not only good for the climate, it is also good for business.

Origin by Ocean

Finland

We rid the oceans of harmful algae and turn it into everyday goods. Our mission is to make the chemical industry run on algae. Reclaiming the oceans requires reclaiming the origin of the chemical products in our everyday consumer products too. Instead of oil, their origins will be algae-based: ecological, decomposable, and renewable. We believe that in order for things to happen at a massive scale, it has to be turned into an industry. One with a reimagined value chain. The planetary problems are going to get worse before they get better. Our plan is to set up our biorefineries in the spots that will be most affected by eutrophication. Our patented biorefining process makes it possible to extract valuable bio-based chemicals from harvested invasive algae and ecologically farmed seaweed.
