ZeroAvia, Inc.

Venture Round in 2021
ZeroAvia builds a practical zero-emission aviation powertrain, based on electric propulsion powered by the hydrogen fuel cell system. Initially focusing on 500-mile zero-emission travel in a 10-20 seat regional aircraft, the company's unique approach results in 4x lower fuel and engine maintenance costs. The company was founded in 2017 by Val Miftakhov and is based in Hollister, California, United States.

Hydrogenious Technologies

Venture Round in 2021
Founded in 2013, Hydrogenious Technoloiges is a spin-off of the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg by its CEO Dr. Daniel Teichmann and the three co-founders Prof. Wolfgang Arlt, Prof. Peter Wasserscheid and Prof. Eberhardt Schlücker. The need for safe and efficient hydrogen storage for multi-MWh energy storage systems and safe and reliable hydrogen storage for hydrogen refuelling stations and fuel cell mobility was imminent – and Liquid Organic Hydrogen Carriers (LOHC) proved to be the solution. Having completed the technological proof of concept at the university’s laboratories, the idea became reality and Hydrogenious Technologies, a global pioneer in LOHC based energy storage, was born. With the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg becoming a shareholder in May 2014 and the successful close of a Series A funding round in July 2014 with Anglo American Platinum as investor, Hydrogenious Technologies is now backed with strong scientific, strategic and financial capacities to revolutionize large-scale energy and hydrogen storage.

Amogy

Series B in 2023
Amogy is a start-up, located in Brooklyn, New York and is working on a novel carbon-free energy storage system using ammonia as a fuel.

Sendle Pty Ltd

Series C in 2021
The first postal service was invented in 1516, not long before William Shakespeare was born. Almost 500 years later, nothing much has changed. To be or not to be (waiting at ye olde worlde post office), that is the question. We're pretty sure you’ve got better things to do. Sendle brings the postal service into the 21st century. No more queues, wasted lunchtimes or closing time dashes. Sendle picks up and delivers parcels up to 10kg door-to-door, at Australia Post prices, usually cheaper.

Fairbrics

Seed Round in 2022
Fairbrics is developing the first synthetic fiber with a net positive impact on climate change and capable of meeting the demand of the market.

C-Zero

Venture Round in 2022
C-Zero develops a natural gas decarbonizing technology designed to avoid the generation of carbon dioxide from energy processing. The company's technology removes the carbon from natural gas so that energy consumers can enjoy zero-emission, low-cost energy on demand. It uses high-temperature catalytic melt systems to break down methane, the primary molecule in natural gas, into hydrogen and solid carbon.

EH Group Engineering

Seed Round in 2022
EH Group Engineering (EHG) aims to become a leading player in the emerging hydrogen economy. This is via the commercialisation of a low temperature fuel cell (FC) based on a radical new design and the development of a transformative manufacturing technique that dramatically reduces costs. They are based in Canton de Vaud in Switzerland, in close proximity to their key industrial partners. Together with them and in collaboration with their sources of academic expertise, EHG seeks to accelerate the commercialisation and large scale deployment of hydrogen fuel cells in a decarbonising world.

Starfire Energy

Venture Round in 2021
Starfire Energy develops and deploys sustainable energy technologies. It has developed a way to make clean liquid fuel from wind and solar power. The fuel is NH3 which is currently used as fertilizer and as a refrigerant but is also an energy-dense liquid fuel. Liquid fuel synthesis from clean energy is the next critical technology for sustainable energy. The company was founded in 2007 and is headquartered in Aurora, Colorado.

Infinium

Venture Round in 2021
Infinium offers an electrofuels solution to decarbonize the transportation sector using today’s infrastructure. Infinium’s Electrofuels is a net-zero carbon alternative to existing liquid fuels that can immediately "drop-in" and be used in plane, ship, and truck fleets.

General Lattice

Pre Seed Round in 2021
General Lattice offering the most powerful additive design tools and methodology. It supports clients on a project basis to scale their applications into production.

HPNow ApS

Seed Round in 2020
HPNow is pioneering the market introduction of powerful, autonomous, safe and eco-friendly water and air treatment solutions, based on their technological breakthroughs in on-site generation of hydrogen peroxide. HPNow’s technology enables on-demand, highly-efficient production of hydrogen peroxide using only water, electricity and air. With their compact and autonomous on-site HPGenTM hydrogen-peroxide generators, they are set to displace presently used and increasingly regulated chlorine and other toxic-chemical disinfectants across multiple water and air treatment sectors. In doing so they will provide our users with cost savings, reduced logistical burdens, and increased yields, while enhancing water, air and food safety and reducing the environmental impact of today’s toxic disinfectant agents.

Greyrock Energy

Venture Round in 2019
Greyrock Energy develops groundbreaking technologies for the direct conversion
 of natural gas into pump-ready transportation fuels. Greyrock’s Direct Fuel Production (DFP) conversion 
technologies avoid many of the costly and large-scale processes associated with 
historical gas-to-liquids (GTL) approaches, allowing much wider and more flexible deployment, at
 much lower gas volumes.
