NitroVolt is a startup with a mission to revolutionize ammonia production by creating a sustainable alternative to conventional fossil fuel-based methods. Currently, ammonia synthesis contributes to about 1.5% of global CO2 emissions, which approximately 80% of ammonia used in fertilizers. The remaining serves various industries, including refrigeration,  wastewater purification, plastic manufacturing, explosives, textiles, pesticides, and many other chemicals. 

Lygos develops scalable, high-performance, sustainable ingredients to help clients meet sustainable innovation targets. By combining biology, chemistry and application expertise, the company creates cost-effective, bio-based material solutions that improve performance and make sustainability a functional attribute.

Battolyser® is a novel technology that combines the functionality of a battery and an electrolyzer in a single, patented system. It efficiently stores and supplies power like a battery while also splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen when fully charged. This dual-functionality makes Battolyser® a highly versatile and efficient energy solution, capable of switching smoothly between power storage and hydrogen production.

Reverion, a German-based startup, is developing new generation micropower plants that maximize the potential of biogas and utilize excess solar wind and wind power that would otherwise go to waste. Reverion has patented and validated a novel technology based on high-temperature fuel cells. This is the first all-in-one solution with a reversible system design that electrochemically converts biogas or hydrogen into electricity with an efficiency of 80% and can switch to electrolysis mode to produce green hydrogen or methane. 

Nature Organics is a family-owned Australian company creating sustainable products since 1981. The company offers a variety of eco-friendly brands, including Earth Choice, Undo This Mess, My Soda, OC Naturals, and Natural State, all of which emphasize sustainability. Natures Organics uses recycled plastics and sustainably sourced ingredients, and it is committed to transitioning to 100% biodegradable plastics that can fully degrade into compost.

Woodland Biofuels is a company that converts waste biomass to hydrogen, renewable natural gas, methanol, or ethanol. The company uses gasification, which involves converting biomass feedstock into syngas through a high-temperature, oxygen-limited process. The syngas is then subjected to highly efficient catalytic reactions to produce carbon-negative fuels. Woodland’s technology uses waste biomass from low-cost, non-food sources such as forest, industry, agricultural, and municipal waste as input feedstock.

Enerkem specializes in converting waste materials into biofuels and renewable chemicals using patented gasification technology. This process utilizes waste and biomass residues from municipal, commercial, and industrial sources. The waste is initially sorted to remove recyclable and inert components, then shredded and dried for further processing. In the gasification phase, the prepared waste is fed into a proprietary bubbling fluidized bed gasification vessel, where it reacts with steam and oxygen to break down molecules and produce a mixture called syngas.
