2024 Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR)
We teamed up with RTI International, a leading independent research institute, to provide technical and commercialization support to startups developing technologies in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Removal (CDR) and Direct Air Capture (DAC). The program was recognized by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) with a Direct Air Capture (DAC) Pre-Commercial Energy Program for Innovation Clusters (EPIC) Prize.
Cohort Included:
Aeon Blue uses seawater and renewable energy to make a drop-in replacement for fossil fuel while capturing and storing CO2 from air.
Ebb Carbon is pioneering a new marine carbon dioxide removal solution by enhancing the ocean’s natural ability to safely store CO2 with an electrochemical technology.
Rhoic is developing electrospun nanomaterials – exploring their use in CO2 removal and ability to process huge amounts of air quickly, with minimal energy, and at low costs.
Heimdal builds machines that use mineral sorbents to permanently capture and store atmospheric CO2.
Holocene is a DAC technology developer and CDR service provider building liquid-based, continuous and low-temperature systems.
Parallel Carbon uses renewable power with integrated DAC and water electrolysis processes to reduce costs and maximize value.
2023 Climate Tech
We finished the program with a showcase intended to be a catalyst for change in worldwide decarbonization solutions. The one-day summit brought together some of the brightest minds in climate tech including our program cohort, industry professionals, investors and thought leaders. It was designed to maximize opportunities for all stakeholders, offering a platform for dialogue, collaboration and actionable insights. The program was recognized by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Office of Technology Transitions (OTT) with Energy Program for Innovation Clusters (EPIC) Round 2 Prizes
