Starfire Energy is a company focused on developing and deploying sustainable energy technologies, specializing in the production of carbon-free ammonia. Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Aurora, Colorado, Starfire Energy has created modular systems that synthesize ammonia from renewable energy sources, specifically wind and solar power. These modular plants are built in shipping containers that are pre-wired and pre-plumbed, facilitating easy on-site installation. The ammonia produced is not only used as a fertilizer and refrigerant but also serves as an energy-dense liquid fuel. By utilizing renewable energy, air, and water as inputs, Starfire Energy aims to meet the growing demands for energy storage and transportation while contributing to carbon-free industrial processes.

C-Zero is a Santa Barbara-based hard-tech startup developing technology to decarbonize natural gas. It uses high temperatures to split methane into hydrogen and solid carbon, enabling emission reduction in industries like ammonia production, electric generation, and fuel cell vehicles.

Infinium produces synthetic fuels from renewable energy and waste carbon dioxide, offering a lower-carbon alternative for transportation systems and chemical processes like plastics production.

Founded in 2013, Hydrogenious Technoloiges is a spin-off of the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg by its CEO Dr. Daniel Teichmann and the three co-founders Prof. Wolfgang Arlt, Prof. Peter Wasserscheid and Prof. Eberhardt Schlücker. The need for safe and efficient hydrogen storage for multi-MWh energy storage systems and safe and reliable hydrogen storage for hydrogen refuelling stations and fuel cell mobility was imminent – and Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHC) proved to be the solution. Having completed the technological proof of concept at the university’s laboratories, the idea became reality and Hydrogenious Technologies, a global pioneer in LOHC based energy storage, was born. With the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg becoming a shareholder in May 2014 and the successful close of a Series A funding round in July 2014 with Anglo American Platinum as investor, Hydrogenious Technologies is now backed with strong scientific, strategic and financial capacities to revolutionize large-scale energy and hydrogen storage.
