RedoxBlox develops thermochemical energy storage technology to decarbonize high-temperature industrial thermal processing and provide long-duration energy storage for the grid. The technology enables continuous high-temperature heat while integrating with existing infrastructure to replace natural gas combustion, supporting electrification and renewables deployment. It reduces carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides emissions, enhances safety and resilience, and aims to lower total capital cost for industrial processors and power plant operators. By delivering scalable, long-duration heat, RedoxBlox helps industries leverage renewable energy and move toward low-emission operations.

Xcel Energy is a leading electric and natural gas utility company serving approximately 6 million customers across eight states. It generates power through diverse sources including coal, nuclear, natural gas, hydro, solar, wind, and biomass. The company is committed to reducing carbon emissions and aims to supply more than half of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030.

C-Zero is a Santa Barbara-based hard-tech startup developing technology to decarbonize natural gas. It uses high temperatures to split methane into hydrogen and solid carbon, enabling emission reduction in industries like ammonia production, electric generation, and fuel cell vehicles.
