At H.E.A.T., we’ve spent over a decade in the battery industry and noticed a clear gap: while huge effort goes into optimizing hardware, the role of the Energy Management System (EMS) is often overlooked. The result? Untapped performance and value left on the table. We build robust, vendor-agnostic EMS solutions for commercial, industrial, and utility-scale projects. Our systems maximize the value of your energy system — not just batteries, but also solar PV, EV chargers, heat pumps, and gensets. Whether you’re scaling a hybrid project or looking to unlock new revenue streams, H.E.A.T. ensures your assets work harder for you. 👉 Let’s talk about how we can optimize your energy system.

Climate Intelligence for Construction - We track and reduce the environmental impact of construction materials ("embodied carbon" in buildings). The Emidat EPD tool enables AI-powered generation and distribution of environmental product declarations (EPDs), making environmental impact fast and cheap for building material manufacturers. With Emidat, material manufacturers: - Reduce cost and time for generating EPDs by over 70% - One license - unlimited EPDs through our third party verified tool - Save time on data collection and text writing based on our AI The Emidat database consists of environmental data on over 150k construction products and can be accessed via API and UI.

With Planted, we support companies holistically and individually in the implementation of their sustainability goals. To do this, we combine local climate protection with technological software solutions, enabling companies to actively manage emissions together with their employees: Starting with the calculation of CO₂ emissions, the identification of savings potential, and ending with the offsetting of unavoidable emissions. In addition, we plant mixed forests in Germany for companies with our own climate forester or enable the protection of local forests. Our mission is to make the economy sustainable and to preserve our earth for future generations and living beings. Learn more: https://en.planted.green/

Concular is a holistic ecosystem for circular construction. The entire process is simplified and made more economical through intelligent data-based material matching between deconstruction and new construction projects, life cycle assessment, and a comprehensive process for architecture offices, project developers, construction companies and manufacturers. This is how we close material loop and make an important contribution to the circular economy. www.concular.com

ecoLocked creates functional, CO2-negative building material additives and helps the construction industry build with climate-friendly concrete and other materials. Our products permanently sequester and store CO2 in the built environment, thereby helping you compensate residual emissions from construction projects. Moreover, they reduce the need for fossil raw materials and deliver targeted functionalities such as thermal insulation, durability, or curing time reduction. All products are based on biogenic carbon extracted from local biomass residues. Our first product, eLM Zero for climate-neutral non-structural concrete is out now in Europe! Our vision: We want to catalyze carbon removal on a global scale and enable a cumulative CO2 impact of >1Gt by 2040.

Plants draw down CO2 from the atmosphere via photosynthesis and solar power at unbeatable efficiency. We take waste biomass and transform it using our patented reactors, permanently storing the carbon in an inert, solid form called biochar. Our unique process produces high-quality biochar for agricultural and construction applications, generates renewable energy, and creates some of the most tangible carbon credits on the market.

We provide the worlds first highly detailed, geo-referenced seafloor maps. Our fully-automated software pipelines extract data products including health, biodiversity, carbon stock and many more, from a single dataset – fast and at scale. We combine the power of AI, advanced imaging and geo-referencing to drive your nature-positive operations across multiple use cases.
