Mango Materials' technology uses waste biogas (methane) to produce poly-hydroxyalkanoate (PHA) powder, a valuable biopolymer that is converted into a variety of eco-friendly, plastic products such as cosmetic packaging and a polyester replacement for textiles. Due to a rising preference for green products, demand for biodegradable and non petroleum-based plastics is growing rapidly. Our climate positive technology transforms greenhouse gas emissions into a biodegradable material for fashion and products, making a plastic substitute that is better than conventional plastics.
We work with companies making New Energy a reality. They are the biggest names in solar, storage, electric transportation, connected home and connected business. They are Smart Utilities and Retail Electric Providers (REPs) who are embracing and enabling our new energy future. We help them identify opportunities, present savings beautifully, and keep new energy customers happy.
Cultivo accelerates investment into nature at scale. We do this by showing how investing in natural capital can generate healthy financial returns that are good for nature and society. - We use propriety algorithms and remote sensor technologies to identify high quality projects and forecast the natural capital returns. - We then package those projects into investment products for financial institutions and corporations to invest in. - The investment finances sustainable activities that restore and protect nature, such as regenerative grazing or forest management. - Cash flows from the natural capital flows (e.g. carbon or water offsets) are generated by these activities, providing reliable long term income to the project and financial returns to the investors.

BELOW2 evaluates and verifies carbon credits in the voluntary market. Science-based and data-driven. For companies, it's hard to find high-quality offsets to compensate for their carbon footprint. Today most carbon offsets fail to meet the following criteria: science-based, traceable, transparent, and unalterable. Therefore these offsets are not appropriate to effectively reach net zero, which leads to greenwashing accusations. BELOW2 provides a high-quality verification standard for carbon credits using numerous data points to create an exact, transparent and traceable result. Thus, buyers and investors of carbon credits de-risk their investments – tokenized and fully transparent for all stakeholders. With up to 90% of net revenues returned to suppliers, offset credit buyers are accelerating innovation and technology to improve the fight against climate change.
Over millions of years, silicate rock weathering has regulated Earth’s climate. By crushing silicate rocks and spreading them on agricultural soils - an approach called Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) - we can accelerate Earth’s natural process into a solution capable of addressing the urgency of climate change. Existing agricultural and silicate rock sites - namely 5,000+ global silicate rock quarries surrounded by agricultural land - have the potential to remove billions of tonnes of CO2 with enhanced rock weathering. Despite this potential, ERW hasn’t scaled given the extraordinary scientific, technological, and operational challenges involved. Terradot, founded out of the Stanford ecosystem, is addressing these challenges by advancing the science, building the technology, and assembling the coalition needed to make this potential a reality. We’ve started in Brazil – one of the world’s most optimal locations for ERW thanks to its tropical soils, strength in agriculture, and clean electricity grid. There, we are building the most ambitious ERW hub to date. This hub will drive the necessary breakthroughs in ERW science, ensuring every tonne of carbon dioxide removed is measured and tracked with certainty. These insights will power digital tools for the optimization and verification of carbon removal projects, enabling the replicability of these hubs globally If successful, this approach will uniquely and rapidly catalyze global-scale carbon removal, enabling the transformation of [300] such quarries in Brazil and [5,000+] global quarries into carbon removal hubs. Terradot has assembled a growing team of leading scientists and engineers with decades of published research (over 100,000 citations on ERW) and hands-on expertise in related fields, providing unmatched experience to drive advancements in ERW.

Naturally occurring minerals - alongside forests, soils, and the ocean - are one of our planet's most vital carbon sinks. Over geological timescales, carbon dioxide in the air and water chemically bind to these minerals and permanently turn to stone. Our technology enhances this natural process, called carbon mineralization, to help minerals absorb CO2 from the ambient air in days, rather than years. By combining the best of engineering and nature, we can offer the most cost-effective and scalable Direct Air Capture solution in the world.
We help businesses, governments, and communities mitigate the risks of climate change through direct air capture. We are the first in market to offer permanent million-ton direct air capture installations – solutions that are safe, permanent, to benefit people and the planet
Glydways, Inc. is an American transportation technology and clean energy company based in South San Francisco, CA. The company specializes in the design, manufacture, installation and operation of affordable autonomous transportation for low, medium and extremely high capacity needs. Founded in 2016 by engineer and entrepreneur Mark Seeger, the company was started with the goal of providing affordable mobility for communities across the world. This goal is founded in the belief that access to affordable housing, employment, education and care lead to economic and social prosperity, and the key to this equity is mobility for as many people as possible. Lead by Gokul Hemmady who serves as CEO, the company’s core objectives are to provide a 24/7 mobility service solution that is environmentally net-negative in terms of greenhouse gas production (GHG), and, inherently profitable. GHG-negative is achieved through the invention and use of power-efficient technologies to reduce the watt-hours-per-person-per-unit-distance traveled, and, photovoltaics embedded into the infrastructure. Economic sustainability is achieved by designing for operational costs that are inherently lower than revenue collected when selling a ride. The key comes from decoupling the unit-costs from the utilization of the system, something that is not possible with existing public/mass transportation systems. By being financially sustainable, Glydways relieves municipalities of the vast annual subsidies required to operate existing solutions, which are inherently unprofitable and thereby a fiscal burden to public budgets. Further, the Glydways business model allows for private capitalization of entire systems. Glydways provides the highest capacity, at the lowest cost, with the best user experience, and the lowest greenhouse gas footprint of any mobility solution, providing a personal, on-demand, and point-to-point journey with no stops between origin and destination
