Aeroseal is a climate tech company on a mission -- reduce the world's carbon emissions by 1 gigaton annually. How will we do it? With our leak sealing technologies. Small leaks are a BIG problem -- The ducts and walls in buildings are inadequately sealed by manual solutions. Aeroseal’s technologies - HomeSeal Connect and AeroBarrier Connect - inject a fog of sealant particles into these pressurized spaces. Software tracks the entire process, creating a certificate of completion showing before and after leakage.

By making aerial quality imagery globally available, easy to purchase, and transparent to task, we aim to catalyze market growth and spur new applications. The world is rapidly changing and a new level of visibility and transparency is required to solve some of our largest problems. Albedo’s 10cm visible and 2m thermal imagery will fuel insights for industries such as mapping, insurance, utilities, solar, agriculture, carbon offsets, infrastructure sustainability, national security, and much more.
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.
ArkeaBio™ is an agricultural science company developing a vaccine targeted to reduce livestock methane that is not only safe and cost-effective, but also realistic for large-scale execution using existing agronomic practices
BIOMILQ is a women-owned and science-led mammary biotechnology start-up leveraging its patented technology to produce functional cell-cultured human milk components outside the body. With the goal of bridging the gap between breast milk and infant formula, BIOMILQ aims to revolutionize early-life nutrition by bringing more of the benefits of breast milk to more babies.
Bloom Biorenewables is creating a global impact in the use of sustainable resources. By introducing a new route for the production of biorenewable products and fuels, they offer a sustainable alternative to fossil-based industries and contribute to mitigating climate change.
Boston Metal is a metallurgy company developing technology to reduce the carbon footprint of steel production. The company provides industrial-scale, metal production solutions utilizing its Molten Oxide Electrolysis (MOE) process. MOE provides the metals industry with a more efficient, lower-cost, and greener solution for the production of a widearray of metals and alloys from a wide variety of feedstocks. Boston Metal was spun out of MIT in 2012 with an investment from Ingo Wender and has since scaled the technology 1,000x and produced thousands of kilograms of metal. Boston Metal’s headquarters and industrial development center are located in Woburn, MA.
Brimstone is on a mission to decarbonize the cement industry, which today is responsible for 7.5% of carbon emissions annually. Founded in 2019, Brimstone developed a breakthrough carbon-negative process to produce the same ordinary portland cement and supplementary cementitious materials used today. These materials have the same quality and performance builders have trusted for decades — now with a positive climate impact.
C-Zero is a hard-tech startup located in Santa Barbara, CA, that is developing a technology for decarbonizing natural gas. The company’s technology uses high temperatures to break down methane, (the primary molecule in natural gas) into hydrogen and solid carbon. C-Zero’s hydrogen can be used to decarbonize a wide range of industries including ammonia production, electric generation, process heat, and fuel cell vehicles, and has the potential to address 75% of global CO2 emissions.
C16 Biosciences uses innovative processes found in nature to brew sustainable alternatives to palm oil. Palm oil is everywhere: it’s in our food, clothes, shampoo, and even the fuel that powers our cars. But this $61 billion industry has drastic environmental and societal costs: rainforests from Costa Rica to Indonesia are destroyed to make way for oil palm tree plantations, releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and destroying habitats for people and endangered wildlife along the way. But palm oil doesn't have to be a problem. There remains an urgent need for consumers and companies alike to switch to environmentally conscious, sustainable palm oil products. C16 was founded with the objective of creating a sustainable, environmentally friendly alternative to conflict palm oil. By offering producers, refiners, traders and consumers of palm oil an opportunity to invest part of their production into bio-based oils and sustainability efforts, our aim is to reduce the environmental footprint of palm oil production and protect precious natural land, wildlife, and resources in the process.
Concrete That Matters: CarbonCure Technologies is on a mission to make concrete a climate solution, reducing embodied carbon emissions in the built environment and transforming concrete plants into a worldwide network of carbon removal factories. Across the global concrete industry, CarbonCure is scaling an integrated decarbonization platform, offering concrete producers a suite of hardware, software and services to reduce the carbon footprint of their concrete products, reduce their production costs and meet the surging demand for green building materials without compromising performance.
2023 Earthshot Prize Finalist on a mission to protect the planet from the cost of clothing. At Circ, we’ve created a technology system that returns clothes to the raw materials from which they were made. Again and again. Brand partners like Patagonia, Marubeni, and Fashion For Good are joining us in our goal of turning wasteful fashion lines into renewable fashion circles. By 2030, we expect to have recycled 10 billion garments, represent 10% of the global apparel market, and to have saved more than 100 million trees. As our ecology and economy grow evermore entwined, it is clear to us that the world already has all the clothing it needs to create all the clothing it will ever need.
Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) has the fastest, lowest cost path to commercial fusion energy. CFS is collaborating with MIT to leverage decades of research combined with new groundbreaking high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet technology. HTS magnets will enable compact fusion power plants that can be constructed faster and at lower cost. CFS is now building SPARC, the world's first commercially relevant, net energy fusion demonstration device. SPARC will pave the way for the first fusion power plant, ARC, that will produce power on the grid. The ultimate mission is to deploy fusion power plants to meet global decarbonization goals as fast as possible. CFS has assembled a team of leaders in tough tech, fusion science, and manufacturing with a track record of rapid execution. Supported by the world’s leading investors, CFS is uniquely positioned to deliver limitless, clean, fusion power to combat climate change.
