To put this in perspective, China and the United States are the two largest carbon dioxide emitters across the globe, with their annual CO₂ emissions totaling over 10 gigatons and 5 gigatons, respectively. Sequestering carbon dioxide in unconventional rock formations has the capability to remove the annual amount of CO₂ emissions produced by both China and the United States.
Visit websiteCH-Bioforce has developed a breakthrough biomass fractionation technology, which enables the full utilization of biomass. Their technology allows the extraction of biomass constituents in an economically sound way and with extremely high quality. The technology produces high quality biopolymers: high-purity pulp, polymeric hemicellulose, and sulphur-free lignin. Each of these material streams has a wide range of possible applications, especially in terms of replacing fossil-based materials and less environmentally friendly bio-based products such as food-based starch or cotton. No other technology is able to fractionate all constituents of the biomass in one process. Almost any kind of biomass can be used as feedstock, both wood and non-wood such as straw.
CH-Bioforce offers a sustainable and completely bio-based alternative to oil- and food-based feedstock. Their technology enables the conversion of current waste material to valuable biopolymers that can be used in higher value applications, for example in the chemical, packaging, food, pharmaceutical, plastics, and textile industries.

Visit websiteGREE fights climate change by scaling profitable and proven biogas solutions that transform agro-food industry waste into valuable resources for people and the planet.
In emerging countries, inadequate treatment of wastewater from food production is responsible for massive greenhouse gas emissions. In Indonesia, their initial market, the agro-food industry generates more water pollution than a population of 185 million. That water pollution, in its turn, emits about 50 million tonnes of CO2eq per year. That is the same as the emissions from 10 million cars.
GREE designs and provides compelling biogas-to-energy solutions for treating industrial wastewater and capturing greenhouse gases, while at the same time transforming these liabilities into assets: clean energy for rural communities, clean water, renewable heat, and organic fertilisers. Transferring established technology to the Global South, their solutions are highly scalable. They are ready to power sustainable local economies while generating both financial and social returns for their investors.

Visit websiteDearman is commercialising clean, cold power from liquid air, in applications exploiting Dearman's patented engine. Our breakthrough in efficiency, validated by Imperial College London, means our first application - zero emissions transport refrigeration units - is on track to surpass diesel and battery total cost of ownership, which is why they're already being trialled by global foods producers and retailers. Globally, Dearman's TRU has the potential to remove half a gigaton of CO2eq p.a. And replacing each diesel TRU with a clean Dearman TRU has the equivalent effect on air quality as removing over 80 diesel cars. Under development are AgriTech applications - pre-cooling fresh produce to reduce waste and associated carbon; and for electric buses, cooling occupants and powertrain with zero emissions, thereby extending range and deployment viability. Future potential applications are in zero-emissions cooling in the built environment; and harnessing waste cold in LNG.

Hazer Group Limited is an ASX-listed technology development company undertaking the commercialisation of the Hazer Process, a low-emission hydrogen and graphite production process. The Hazer Process enables the effective conversion of natural gas and similar feedstocks, into hydrogen and high quality graphite, using iron ore as a process catalyst. The key difference in the Hazer Process over alternative hydrogen production processes is that the carbon content of the natural gas feed is captured as graphite, rather than converted into carbon dioxide. This graphite is a saleable product, giving the process two valuable products rather than just one and reduces the cost of the process. The process also requires substantially lower energy requirements compared to electrolysis-based hydrogen production, creating significant cost and energy advantages. With carbon emissions captured in the form of solid graphite, Hazer can produce hydrogen with significant lower carbon dioxide emissions, better enabling the use of hydrogen across the developing clean energy market, as well as in large existing chemical processing industries.

Visit websiteThe Nano Membrane Toilet will treat human waste in the house without external energy or water. The toilet flush uses a rotating mechanism to transport the mixture into the toilet without demanding water whilst simultaneously blocking odour and the user's view of the waste. Solids separation is principally accomplished through sedimentation. Loosely bound water is separated using low glass transition temperature hollow-fibre membranes, facilitating water transport in the vapour state rather than as a liquid and yielding high rejection of pathogens and some odorous volatile compounds. The water is recondensed and drains into a collection vessel for safe reuse at the household level. The residual solids are transported by a mechanical screw into a gasifier, which will convert them into ash and energy to power the membrane processes.

The problem we are solving is that the grid isn't designed for the increasing percentage of variable and intermittent generation from renewables such as wind and solar - it needs a buffer and apart from pumped hydro, there isn't a low-cost solution; hence the need for our 1-100MWh Copper/Zinc battery.

Visit websiteThe Nano Membrane Toilet will treat human waste in the house without external energy or water. The toilet flush uses a rotating mechanism to transport the mixture into the toilet without demanding water whilst simultaneously blocking odour and the user's view of the waste. Solids separation is principally accomplished through sedimentation. Loosely bound water is separated using low glass transition temperature hollow-fibre membranes, facilitating water transport in the vapour state rather than as a liquid and yielding high rejection of pathogens and some odorous volatile compounds. The water is recondensed and drains into a collection vessel for safe reuse at the household level. The residual solids are transported by a mechanical screw into a gasifier, which will convert them into ash and energy to power the membrane processes.

Visit websiteTaronis is a sustainable technology incubator and business accelerator with a focus on renewable fuel, waste-to-energy, water conservation, and air and water quality solutions. The company has raised and deployed over $100 million in this space, leading to a patent portfolio of 19 active patents and several more pending.
Taronis' most notable success to date has been the global commercialisation of Taronis Fuels, which produces and markets renewable fuel products commonly used for construction, maintenance and other industrial end uses. Through Taronis’ patented technology, the Venturi Plasma Arc™, liquid waste is gasified and converted to high value fuel products through a submerged electric arc between two electrodes. The arc breaks down the liquid molecules into atoms and forms a plasma around the tips of the electrodes at about 10,000º F. The Venturi moves the plasma away from the electrodes and controls the formation of the gas product that rises to the surface for collection.
Taronis’ gas has a higher flame temperature than acetylene and has been independently certified at 10,500ºF. It can cut faster and cleaner, with little to no slag and uses less oxygen than its competitors. More specifically, it can cut a two-inch steel plate at a rate of 18 inches per minute, a full 38% faster than acetylene and 44% faster than propane. Additionally, it emits significantly less carbon dioxide (CO2) than competing gases. Taronis Fuels has over 30,000 customers in the United States and is actively expanding into Latin America, the Caribbean, the European Union, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.
