Cool Planet Technologies operates in carbon capture, using a modular, energy-efficient membrane-based system to remove carbon dioxide from industrial flue gas emissions. The technology enables capture at point sources and allows CO2 to be exported as a gas or liquid with high purity. A key element is the advanced PolyActive membrane developed by Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon, which underpins the company’s method. The system is designed for scalable deployment with a compact footprint and rapid response, aligning with industries pursuing environmentally friendly operations.

Fido Tech specializes in developing software solutions for water management. Their innovative platform uses artificial intelligence to detect and analyze leaks accurately, helping businesses enhance performance and conserve water without significant infrastructure investment.

Sublime Systems develops cement decarbonization technology that reduces cement emissions while co-producing green hydrogen. The system relies on clean, renewable energy and an electrochemical process that eliminates carbon dioxide emissions without altering the cement’s properties or chemistry. The technology enables builders to use lower-emission cement as part of a broader move toward a sustainable, renewable future.

Carbon Upcycling is a carbon technology company focused on decarbonizing hard-to-abate industries through its patented technology. This innovation allows for the permanent storage of carbon dioxide in industrial byproducts and minerals, effectively transforming them into high-performance alternative materials for cement and concrete. By doing so, Carbon Upcycling aims to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of industrial processes while diverting materials from landfills, thereby supporting a circular economy. The company has garnered international recognition for its advancements, being awarded the Carbon XPrize’s X-Factor, named NRMCA’s 2023 Innovative Company, and included in Cleantech Group’s Global Cleantech 100 and Foresight 50’s Canada’s Most Investable Cleantech Ventures.
