Carbon to Value
Year 5 Cohort
Year 5 of the Carbon to Value Initiative received 165 applications from 33 countries, representing a wide variety of carbontech innovations, including point source and direct air capture; carbon conversion into added-value products such as fuels, chemicals, and materials; and carbon sequestration. After an extensive evaluation process involving over dozens of reviewers from across industries and technical areas, we chose 10 new startups to participate in the fifth cohort of the C2V Initiative.
Meet the Year 5 Cohort:
Brooklyn, N.Y., U.S.
Arbon develops a humidity-swing carbon capture solution, capturing CO₂ from the air or point-source without heat or pressure.
New York, N.Y., U.S.
Cella Mineral Storage develops a subsurface-mineralization technology with integrated software, enabling new ways to sequester CO₂ underground.
Mannheim, Germany
ICODOS transforms emissions into value through a point-source carbon capture and methanol synthesis process in a single, modularized system.
Vancouver, B.C., Canada
Lite-1 uses advanced biomanufacturing processes to produce circular colourants for use in food, cosmetics, and textiles.
London, U.K.
Mission Zero Technologies has developed and internationally deployed an electrified, direct-air carbon capture solution that employs both liquid adsorption and electrochemical technologies.
Nairobi, Kenya
Octavia Carbon develops a solid-adsorption-based, direct air carbon capture solution that utilizes geothermal heat.
Pleasanton, Calif., U.S.
Rushnu integrates point-source carbon capture with chemical production, turning salt and CO₂ into chlorine-based chemicals and minerals.
Cambridge, Mass., U.S.
Sora Fuel integrates direct air capture with direct conversion of the captured carbon into syngas for production of sustainable aviation fuel.
Brooklyn, N.Y., U.S.
Turnover Labs develops modular electrolyzers that transform raw, industrial CO₂ emissions into chemical building blocks, without capture or purification.
Burlington, Ontario, Canada
Universal Matter develops a Flash Joule Heating process that converts carbon waste such as end-of-life plastics, tires, or industrial waste into graphene.
