Breakthrough Energy

Malta is a provider of industrial-grade, grid-scale energy storage solutions. The Malta system collects and stores inexpensive and abundant renewable and fossil energy, and dispatches it as needed to the grid to enable the affordable and reliable delivery of electricity on demand. Incubated at X, the Moonshot Factory (formerly Google [x]), and funded by leading venture capital and commercial power industry companies

Xcel Energy is an electric and natural gas utility company based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, founded in 1909. It serves approximately 3.8 million electric customers and 2.2 million natural gas customers across eight states. The company is involved in the generation, transmission, distribution, and sale of electricity, utilizing a diverse mix of energy sources including coal, nuclear, natural gas, hydro, solar, biomass, oil, and wind. Xcel Energy is recognized as one of the largest suppliers of renewable energy in the United States, with over half of its electricity sales derived from carbon-free sources. Its operations are organized into five segments: electricity, natural gas, renewable energy, transmission, and innovation, which also includes the development and leasing of natural gas pipelines and related facilities.

C-Zero is a hard-tech startup based in Santa Barbara, California, focused on developing innovative technology to decarbonize natural gas. The company utilizes high-temperature catalytic systems to decompose methane, the main component of natural gas, into hydrogen and solid carbon. This process aims to eliminate carbon dioxide emissions associated with energy production. C-Zero's hydrogen can be applied across various industries, including ammonia production, electric generation, process heating, and fuel cell vehicles, potentially addressing up to 75% of global CO2 emissions. By providing a solution for energy companies to reduce their emissions while maintaining low-cost energy availability, C-Zero is positioned to make a significant impact on climate change and energy sustainability.
