Vertus Energy is a climate tech startup focused on transforming waste into green energy. The company has developed BRIO™ technology, which enhances the production of biofuel from waste materials. This innovative system is designed to produce 60% more energy from the same volume of waste compared to existing technologies, while also handling three times more waste. Utilizing anaerobic digesters and carbon sequestration and conversion methods, Vertus Energy aims to provide a solution for de-fossilizing heavily polluting industries, making the transition to sustainable energy more practical and cost-effective. Through its advancements, Vertus Energy contributes to the urgent global effort to combat climate change.

Aspiring Materials specializes in carbon capture technology by extracting mineral products from silicate rocks. The company utilizes magnesium hydroxide, a mineral found within these rocks, to create a powdery substance capable of removing and solidifying carbon dioxide emissions directly at their source, such as in factory exhaust systems. This innovative approach not only aids in reducing industrial carbon dioxide emissions but also contributes to the development of sustainable products for the construction industry. Through its unique process, Aspiring Materials addresses environmental challenges and promotes more sustainable industrial practices.
