Upscaling and Piloting (TRL 6-7)

Future Origins is commercializing high-volume production of widely-used C12/C14 fatty alcohols (FALCs) from non-palm sources. Our Nalo™-brand FALCs provide a  *drop-in* alternative for a >3 million ton market that offers a traceable, deforestation-free supply chain critical to making surfactants that touch *billions* of consumers. We’ve developed super-efficient engineered microorganisms using biotechnology to deliver competitive economics and an estimated 68% reduction in GHGs.

The fashion industry is the second most polluting industry in the world. Textile dyeing and finishing account for 55% of the industry’s environmental footprint. As apparel consumption will increase 70% by 2030, the industry is now actively seeking viable alternatives to decarbonize and detoxify its supply chain. But most safer alternatives comes just in a few colors, work on limited textile materials and don't last long enough.

Pure Lithium’s Brine to Battery™ technology fundamentally changes the way rechargeable batteries are made, from the materials used to the methods of production. The result is a lithium-metal (Li-M) battery delivered at a lower cost with significantly higher energy density than lithium-ion (Li-ion), the dominant battery on the global market today. The Brine to Battery method turns lithium-containing brines into 99.9% pure, battery-ready Li-M anodes, using sophisticated electrochemistry.

Valoron is transforming non-recyclable waste into clean chemicals and fuels for hard-to-abate sectors such as e-fuels for transportation & shipping, and base chemicals for industrial manufacturing.

Building on off-the-shelf technologies and innovative process solutions, Valoron is turning mixed waste into valuable hydrocarbons for application in renewable fuels and sustainable chemicals, thus closing the loop on materials, and ushering in a circular and low-carbon economy. 

Over 10,000 fossil-based chemicals are used in current colouration processes. Sparxell has developed the world’s first 100% natural, high-performance biodegradable colour platform.  Sparxell's mission is to eliminate toxic chemicals from colouration and provide businesses with sustainable, low-carbon and performant alternatives to traditional coloured materials including fine powders, pearls and glitter, films, foils and ribbons as well as special formats like sequins.

Key features of product:

Lydian has developed a proprietary technology that replaces O&G refining with a fully-electrified, modular, and highly-efficient reactor system that combines CO2 emissions, water, and renewable electricity to create carbon-neutral sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) for a net-zero aviation industry.

Key Features:

Transforms plant waste into advanced cellulose nanofibers for sustainable and high-performance materials in the circular bioeconomy. VERDE aims to produce cost-competitive advanced biomaterials with a wide range of applications, from low-volume (cosmetics, electronics, filtration, sensors) to high-volume (packaging, plastic, composites, cement)  that improve product performance as well as environmental footprint.

Transforms industrial crustacean waste into high-value biopolymers such as Chitosan using proprietary green processes and modular on-site system to manufacture wound dressings and medical sutures, water purification filters, biodegradable bioplastics, agricultural coatings and supplements, cosmetics and hair care products, 3D biomedical and dental applications.

Bergen Carbon Solutions is a company transforming CO2 into a valuable resource by using renewable energy to convert excess greenhouse gas into solid, versatile industrial raw materials. The carbon capture and utilization (CCU) technology developed by Bergen has the potential to deliver a stable supply of carbon nanotubes and graphite, and also reduce manufacturers' exposure to geopolitical risks associated with raw material sourcing.

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.
