ReJoule has developed a revolutionary battery diagnostic test to rapidly answer this question. By cutting down the time from 6-10 hours to a couple of minutes, this company enables old batteries to have a new purpose.

CarbonCure enables the reduction of cement content in concrete mixes while maintaining its strength. Founded 10 years ago by Rob Niven, the company injects CO2 into the mix - making it stronger and sequestering CO2.

Nitricity develops distributed, on-site systems, which produce nitrogen fertilizer from air, water and renewable electricity - allowing farms to efficiently fertilize themselves.

Commercial buildings are the fourth largest emitter of CO2 worldwide - with 67% of their emissions coming from heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (aka HVAC). 75F is using machine learning and cloud computing to clean that up.

What happens when a tree falls in a city? It often gets sent to a landfill. Cambium Carbon is on a mission to change that - they've developed a circular economy platform that enables a fallen tree to be turned into something useful.

Cydee Technologies improves public area lighting infrastructure in developing countries, cutting emissions and costs.

50% of the US population lives within 50 miles of the coastline. A study from NREL shows that wave energy has the potential to power 23 million homes on the West Coast alone. CalWave has built wave energy converter technology that achieves high performance while surviving storms and extreme conditions.

Remora has built a device that captures the carbon emissions from a semi-truck. They then sell the captured carbon dioxide to concrete producers and other end-users, helping companies earn new revenue while meeting their climate commitments. They're working to turn America's two million semi-trucks into a roving fleet of carbon removal devices.

Formo is a cellular agriculture startup that develops cultivated, animal-free dairy products through precision fermentation. Through this innovative scientific approach, Formo is ensuring that the future of food is sustainable.

In a world becoming more familiar with the climatic impact of global warming, wildfires damage homes, businesses, and livelihoods. Perimeter Solutions has developed a fire retardant to prevent and slow down the destruction of wildfires. It's a crucial solution to help firefighters as climate change fuels record-breaking fire seasons.

Radiator Labs turns existing radiators into smart and energy-efficient heating systems with room-by-room temperature control. They're on a mission to decarbonize the world's legacy buildings - starting in New York City.

Dandelion Energy is a geothermal heating and cooling company. By replacing furnaces and boilers with geothermal systems, they're able to harvest a reliable, natural energy source while cutting down on costs and emissions.

Traditional commercial HVAC designs rely on massive volumes of outside air to maintain acceptable indoor air quality.

Mining is the fifth largest industry in the world - one that disrupts ecosystems by digging up the earth and releasing CO2 into the atmosphere. Aether Diamonds is transforming the way we produce diamonds while discarding the need to dig.

Bluemethane is developing a breakthrough data platform and hardware solution to sense and capture methane emissions from water. This will permanently remove methane from water, reduce global warming and support the energy transition.

Joro is on a mission to empower people to tap into the power of their spending to tackle the climate crisis. Joro helps people track, reduce, and offset the emissions of what they buy.

Epic Cleantec offers onsite water reuse solutions with sustainable building technology designed to conserve water, recycle resources, and save money.

Household paper products such as toilet paper and paper towels make up 15% of total wood consumption, driving deforestation globally. Cloud Paper is on a mission to protect our forests - and they're using bamboo as the solution.

Compound Foods is using biotechnology to create coffee without the beans to preserve valuable resources like land and water.

Beef production accounts for 60% of all the agricultural land on our planet but makes up only 2% of the calories. Tender Food's products can address both climate and the unethical production processes of the meat industry.

Clean O2 is a company on a mission to reduce emissions in the heating industry. Their carbon capture tech uses a chemical process to convert CO2 captured from heating system exhaust into a stable carbonate used in soaps and detergents.

We use oil for far more than driving our cars. It's used for plastics, makeup, furniture, clothes, and much more. Checkerspot has built a decarbonized solution: making oils from microalgae through fermentation.

Nth Cycle is taking a cleaner, cheaper, and more circular approach to recycling lithium-ion batteries.

By utilizing plants' natural ability to convert CO2 into simple sugars, Loam Bio converts stable forms of carbon that can be captured instead of released into the atmosphere.

By using a physical strainer-like-separator to isolate one set of molecules from another, Via Separations is repurposing otherwise wasted resources - all while saving energy.

By replacing the fossil carbon in critical chemicals with renewable, recycled carbon from CO2, Twelve can eliminate emissions from thousands of essential products and set a new standard for how things get made in the climate era.

Chefs use eggs for everything - but the culinary world is currently shifting to an animal-free future. EVERY uses precision fermentation to make eggs without the animal.

Genecis solves two major problems. They take food waste and convert it into compostable and marine-biodegradable plastics that break down within 12 months.

Using chitin, an abundant natural biopolymer found in shellfish, Cruz Foam is creating novel thermoplastic pellets that eliminate the need to use harsh, environmentally-harmful chemicals in the packaging production process.

Industrial dye pollutes water and degrades aquatic life. Huue is cooking up a solution in the lab, and it's pretty sweet. Using microbes and sugar, they're creating a sustainable and effective dye substitution.
