Limiting global warming to 1.5°C implies reaching net zero CO2 emissions in 2050 according to the IPCC. Next to substantially reducing emissions, this target will only be possible by globally deploying carbon removal (CDR) solutions at the scale of billions of tons of CO2. Neustark is a leading provider in this rapidly growing field, having developed a solution to permanently store CO2 from the air in recycled mineral waste such as demolished concrete. Our first solutions have been deployed in Switzerland and Europe and are already capturing and storing tons of CO2 every week. We are currently scaling up our operations and carbon removal impact globally – on the road to removing one million tons of CO2 in 2030, and beyond that. Founded in 2019, neustark AG is based in Berne, Switzerland, and is a team of around 55 people (as per Q3 2023) working at our Berne, Zurich and Cologne offices. Together, we enable permanent CO2 storage for a bright future of all generations on our planet. What we do in a nutshell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joVBNV9O2MA

HONEXT is an innovative Barcelona-based company manufacturing certified circular, flame-retardant, non-toxic boards for a sustainable and healthy built environment. Our vision is to accelerate the transition to a circular economy. Thanks to our continued research and development, the IP protected, industrial, bio-based HONEXT® process can upcycle residual fibres from paper mills as the main raw material into well-performing boards which can be fully recycled again. This makes our process and products certified as Circular by design. The HONEXT® boards are manufactured and designed for additional processing. They can be cut, glued, drilled, laminated and texturised and are therefore highly versatile for e.g. wall cladding, partitioning, acoustic solutions, decorative surfaces and furniture. Being flame-retardant and non-toxic with no formaldehyde nor VOCs added, the boards provide a unique safe and healthy alternative for a wide range of applications for the interior built environment such as Public Buildings, Workplaces, Hospitality, Healthcare and Educational facilities. The boards are sold through a distributed network. For more product features, company information and our certification credentials, please refer to our website where you also find recent applications and high-profile projects where HONEXT® boards are used.

TrustVal is an industrial artificial intelligence company focused on critical infrastructure oversight and the transition from estimation-based to measurement-based crediting for environmental outcomes. Built on decades of experience in environmental engineering, industrial gas systems, and international climate cooperation, we dont just monitor — we develop projects. Our team designs, builds, and operates landfill gas, biogas, and solar installations while connecting them to our national-scale dMRV platform through sensors, control systems, and operator data interfaces. Our core value lies in industrial AI reasoning. The system validates data, detects anomalies, identifies inconsistencies between reported and measured performance, and flags operational or compliance risks. This enables national agencies and verification bodies to objectively supervise licensed operators without relying on self-reported data or theoretical emission models. This is the fundamental shift we drive: from estimation to measurement. Traditional carbon crediting relies on modelled baselines and periodic manual audits — resulting in 30–70% under-delivery against projected emission reductions. TrustVal closes this gap by connecting the sensor to the certificate. Every tonne captured, every kilowatt-hour generated, is measured and converted into auditable environmental value under UNFCCC-approved methodologies. Our dMRV-as-a-Service platform benchmarks operators against regulatory obligations, verifies compliance automatically, and converts verified performance into measurable outcomes — for enforcement, optimization, or carbon credit generation under Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement. From models to meters — every tonne measured, every credit earned.
