level nine's nanozymes enable biochemicals

level nine creates nanozymes that have advanced performance over enzymes or metal catalysts for processing biological feedstocks into low emissions alternatives to petrochemicals. GHG emissions from extraction and processing of petrochemicals is 3.3 Gt CO2e/year.

NetZeroNitrogen’s bacteria fix nitrogen from the air

Synthetic nitrogen fertiliser is responsible for 1 Gt CO2e/year in process and application emissions. NZN is harnessing the power of naturally-occuring bacteria in plants to fix nitrogen directly from the air.

Actuation Lab eliminate hydrogen losses

Switching parts of the economy to hydrogen has the potential to save 2.7 Gt CO2e/year by 2050. To do this we need to transport and store hydrogen without leaks, as H2 is a potent indirect greenhouse gas. Actuation Lab's redesigned valves eliminate fugitive stem leaks.

ClimateCrop enhance photosynthesis in crops

Land use change associated with growing crops accounts for over 2 gigatonnes of emissions per year. ClimateCrop edit the genes of crops to enable them to better use the energy from the sun and improve both yields and resilience dramatically.

Phycobloom's algae make jet fuel from air

Long distance flight is critical to the modern world. Fuel energy density requirements make electrification of such flights almost impossible. Phycobloom’s modified algae make affordable, carbon neutral jet fuel from the air.

Epoch BioDesign reinvent industrial processes

Industrial processes like recycling are inefficient and emit gigatonnes of CO2e per year. Epoch BioDesign discover and harness proteins to achieve the same results with dramatically lower emissions.

Ionate makes the clean grid smart

Adding more renewables to electricity generation requires a smarter grid. By managing power quality, Ionate's Smart Transformer makes it possible to integrate even more renewables to the grid as it grows.  

Twig makes ingredients using microbiology

Twig makes ingredients found in everyday products using microbial fermentation instead of intensive agriculture or petrochemicals. By replacing palm oil and other ingredients, 1.2 Gt CO2e could be saved per year by 2050. Twig uses bioengineering and AI to rapidly achieve high yields, enabling cost competitive bio-ingredients.

NitroFix make ammonia from water and air

Ammonia production today is responsible for 2% of global GHG emissions, and this is forecast to grow as it is a leading contender to decarbonise the shipping industry. By synthesising ammonia directly from water and nitrogen, NitroFix’s electrochemical cells can make ammonia without carbon emissions at the lowest cost.

RepAir suck carbon dioxide out of the air

Even as we decarbonise our economy we still need to reduce the amount of CO2 already in the air. RepAir's modular, electrochemical solution to direct air capture of CO2 promises to be both flexible and affordable.

Biozeroc make cement the way nature does

Concrete is responsible for 8% of annual GHG emissions. And cement is the main offender. Biozeroc use bacteria to create cementitious material in place bypassing the energy and process emissions of cement.

Anaphite's graphene batteries change the game

Range anxiety is a massive issue for EV adoption. Anaphite develop novel methods for incorporating graphene into lithium ion batteries, increasing capacity and enabling faster charging.

Multus Media feed your low-carbon food

Cultured meat is an affordable, low carbon alternative to the growing demand for meat in a developing world. Multus Media's smart growth media makes it better, cheaper and greener.

Echion's niobium anodes can drive EV adoption

Echion's niobium oxide tech enables ultra-fast charging (<10 min) and high power applications that are currently out of reach for lithium-ion batteries. This will drive adoption and penetration of EVs across transportation.
