eFuels From Waste CO2 and Hydrogen

Infinium produces electrofuels (eFuels) to help the heavy transit and chemicals sectors achieve net zero by reducing CO2 emissions. Infinium eFuels are made from green hydrogen derived from renewable power and captured carbon dioxide in a proprietary process developed and commercialized over a decade. Infinium’s unique production process facilitates the on-site production of ultra-low carbon transportation fuels and chemicals such as sustainable aviation fuels (eSAF), eDiesel, and eNaphtha.

Depolymerization Technology

Terracle specializes in the chemical recycling of waste plastics, producing high-purity recycled terephthalic acid (TPA) and ethylene glycol (EG) from disposable coffee cups, low-grade plastics, polyester, and PET materials. This is achieved through a process known as depolymerization, a form of chemical recycling. 

Fabrics Made From CO2

Fairbrics, a French startup, is leading the charge in creating sustainable alternatives to traditional textiles. Their innovative process, which involves capturing CO2 from industrial sources and converting it into polyester fabric, is a beacon of hope for the fashion industry. By offering a more eco-friendly alternative, Fairbrics is not just reducing the industry’s reliance on fossil fuels but also inspiring a greener future. 

Environmentally Responsible Nanoparticles for Catalysis

NanoScientifica Scandinavia is a startup specializing in nanotechnology solutions with applications in biotechnology, medicine, and catalysis. The company focuses on producing shape- and size-controlled nanoparticles through scalable and environmentally responsible processes designed to reduce energy consumption, waste, and byproducts, promoting more sustainable industrial practices. By optimizing the size, shape, and composition of nanoparticles, NanoScientifica enhances their catalytic activity for various chemical processes.

Enzymatic Electrolysis Process

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.

TAML® Catalysis

A technology developed by Sudoc, a company that aims to replace toxic chemicals with toxin-free chemical options for wastewater disposal treatments. Sudoc specializes in TAML (Tetramic Acid Metal-Ligand) molecules to make chemical reactions exponentially more powerful. TAML® catalysis is characterized by premier catalytic functions with self-decomposing mechanisms. It is most environmentally effective when used with hydrogen peroxide -- a chemical made up of hydrogen and oxygen used by our bodies to oxidize toxic compounds and chemicals.

Waste Conversion into Biofuels and Renewable Chemicals

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.
