Brimstone Energy

Brimstone Energy has developed an electrolyzer technology that is able to co-produce sulfuric acid and hydrogen that is carbon-free and cost competitive with the cheapest hydrogen produced via steam methane reformation. Website│Video

Cypris Materials

Cypris Materials was founded to reinvent color. The founders’ vision is to bring structural color to the market as a sustainable solution to global energy inefficiencies, an alternative to toxic dyes and pigment, as well as a new paradigm for controlling the flow of light. They are working on applying their paintable photonics platform to solve major challenges in a number of industrial verticals. Website│Video

EnZinc

EnZinc has developed a 3-D zinc sponge electrode using US Naval Research Laboratory technology that delivers a nickel-zinc battery with the energy of lithium-Ion, the cost of lead-acid, and greater safety than either. Website│Video

Noble Thermodynamics

Noble’s core technology, the Argon Power Cycle, is a new power cycle by which the efficiency of current internal combustion engines is increased by up to 10% while generating zero air pollutants and capturing 100% of the generated carbon dioxide. Website│Video

Noon Energy

Noon Energy is pioneering a new class of battery technology which provides low-cost, energy-dense, long-duration electricity storage for scaling to 100% renewables. It utilizes very low cost storage media for an installed storage cost of less than $50/kWh, which enables it to turn intermittent solar/wind power into on-demand power at a cost that undercuts conventional fossil fuel power generation. Its high energy density—approximately three times that of lithium-ion for the full system—will enable longer range electric vehicles, trucks, ships, and aircraft. Website│Video

PARC

A salt separation technology invented at PARC, a Xerox company, this innovation enables the separation of concentrated brines with no phase changes, a process for which only thermal processes have previously existed. Methods such as reverse osmosis or electrodialysis do not work at high concentrations or have serious operational limitations. Website│Video

Takachar

Takachar is focused on dramatically increasing the amount of waste biomass economically transformed into marketable products around the world. Using a novel concept called oxygen-lean torrefaction, Takachar is simplifying reactor design to enable small-scale, portable, and decentralized biomass conversion, creating more economical uses for raw biomass.
