Developed by experts in chemistry, AI, and high-performance computing, the platform includes tools such as FitFLOW, which evaluates ingredient-product affinity, safety, and function; SwapFLOW, which identifies greener, safer, and better-performing alternative compounds; DesignFLOW, which leverages AI-driven recipe design to optimize formulas for performance, cost, and efficacy; and MetaFLOWS, which conducts meta-dimensional analyses for comprehensive business transformation.

CarbonFree’s SkyCycle™ technology is a groundbreaking solution for capturing CO2 emissions from hard-to-abate industrial sources and transforming them into valuable, carbon-negative products. SkyCycle™ captures carbon emissions before they enter the atmosphere, decarbonizes, and mineralizes the CO2, converting it into marketable, non-hazardous materials or permanently storable compounds. This process yields significant carbon value, helping to reduce global supply chain emissions, particularly Scope 3 emissions.

Qarboon's machines are designed to be user-friendly, compact, and efficient, allowing for widespread accessibility.

Anodyne is a Canadian startup dedicated to transforming the chemical industry into a more sustainable sector by leveraging the power of enzymes. This innovative approach merges the evolutionary advantages of biological systems with the efficiency of chemical manufacturing, aiming to transition from fossil-based to fossil-free production methods. Anodyne’s mission is to provide affordable, sustainable alternatives for everyday products, contributing significantly to the industry's shift towards greener practices.

Mycocycle has developed an innovative technology that uses fungi for waste management and recycling. This patent-pending process enhances the natural capabilities of fungi to transform construction waste into low-carbon raw materials suitable for the built environment. Mycelium, the root structure of fungi, is naturally fire and water-resistant, insulative, durable, and lightweight—making it an ideal raw material for the building industry. Mycocycle’s lab process uses mycelium to consume and eliminate toxins from construction waste, producing environmentally safe raw building materials.

Solidia Technologies has patented cement technology that utilizes the same raw materials and equipment as traditional Portland cement but with reduced limestone and lower production temperatures. This innovation slashes CO2 emissions from kilns by 30% compared to conventional Portland cement production and up to 50% of the overall carbon footprint of cement and concrete. Solidia Cement® also contains low-limestone cement that achieves strength through CO2 reaction rather than water.

Brimstone has developed an industrial process for producing industry-standard Portland cement with significantly less carbon emissions. Brimstone’s decarbonized process is a breakthrough in cement production, making industry-standard Portland cement with carbon-free calcium silicate rock instead of limestone. Brimstone cement is chemically and physically identical to conventional Portland cement, with the same quality and performance. Portland cement contains two core products: Portland cement clinker and supplementary cementitious materials (SCM).

Nanoengineered separator coatings and liquid electrolytes for faster charging, low cost, and energy-dense lithium-ion and lithium-metal batteries. Sepion Technologies has deployed its proprietary material discovery platform powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) to predict material properties such as flash point and viscosity to develop a non-flammable liquid electrolyte that can reduce the risk and severity of fires in electric vehicles (EV) batteries.
