EnergyX is a sustainable energy company focused on direct lithium extraction, refinery and battery technology. Combining these technologies from brine to battery will create a process dramatically lowering the cost of lithium resources. The company’s goal is to develop technology and assets that turn it into one of the premier, low-cost lithium providers for the growing lithium-ion battery industry. The electric vehicle (EV) and energy storage revolution is generating high demand for lithium, with some analysts forecasting orders-of-magnitude demand increases. As the EV market rapidly expands, millions of large-scale battery packs will be in demand. The estimated annual production of EV’s is 20,000,000 per year. For one 85-kWh car, the price of the lithium in the battery is approximately $2,945 per car. Residential (home) and commercial batteries are also gaining market demand traction, and California has implemented law stating by 2020 all new homes will require solar arrays. Companies already producing lithium are attempting to increase production as battery cell manufacturers are scaling up lithium-ion production with mega factories and actively acquiring raw materials through long term off-take supply agreements. In the Lithium Triangle, where 50-70% of the world’s known lithium reserve is located, current methods of extraction are based off outdated, natural evaporation pond technology, which takes 18 months, and loses 50-70% of the lithium due to co-precipitation. Our solution is to optimize and apply a highly scalable lithium extraction membrane to the process. The ability to efficiently extract and aggregate the lithium elements from the salt brines using proprietary, multi-level, synthetic ion separation techniques can increase time efficiency by 100x and recovery rate by 300%.

Xeal is a technology-first electric vehicle (EV) charging company operating at the intersection of mobility, real estate, IoT, and energy. We are building the next generation of EV charging solutions to take the market from 1% to 100% mass adoption. We tackle the world’s greatest challenges with disruptive, yet practical solutions for the built environment and future of smart cities. Xeal has been adopted by the nations largest real estate companies to electrify thousands of parking spaces. See what we’re all about here: https://youtu.be/U8Y7APdWJoY.

Founded in 2017, Nori is on a mission to scale carbon removal, with the ultimate goal of reversing climate change. Our fully integrated carbon removal issuing program, registry, and marketplace simplifies a complicated market, increasing transparency, trust, efficiency, and impact for buyers and sellers alike. We make it easy for businesses to drive positive climate impact by giving them access to verified carbon removal credits that support regenerative farmers in the US, help scale the technology underpinning promising durable solutions, and can be integrated directly into products. For suppliers, we streamline the process of developing, verifying, and selling carbon removal credits, so that they can focus on what they do best — removing carbon from the atmosphere. We also engage with federal agencies and policymakers to advocate for supplier-enabling policies and consistent definitions and standards that help inspire confidence in the market. Collectively, we have to remove between 5 and 10 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year to reach global climate mitigation targets – and even more to drive climate change in reverse. Nori enables everyone to participate with confidence because every tonne counts.

Bright is Mexico’s #1 distributed generation solar financier (think Sunrun for the developing world, starting first in Mexico). We provide the distributed solar operating system that enables thousands to offer cheaper electricity to homes at no upfront cost, and we work with our network of project financiers, local installers and local distributors to satisfy the resulting demand. Our first market is Mexico, which has more sun, higher electricity rates, and lower labor costs than the US. Brights investors include IFU.DK, First Round Capital, Y Combinator, Leonardo DiCaprio, Daniel Servitje, the founders of Sunrun and Tesla, and other top Silicon Valley firms.

GridBoost develops software solutions to streamline the discovery and assessment of community solar projects. Our mission is to accelerate access to sustainable energy through advanced data analytics and automation. What We Do: - Automated Solar Siting: Our platform identifies optimal sites for solar development using advanced search and filtering capabilities, saving developers time and resources. - Simplified Interconnection: We provide insights into grid capacity and interconnection queues to minimize upgrades and reduce deployment delays. - Scalability and Efficiency: Supporting higher volumes of solar deployments from 200kW to 5MW, our tools help reduce costs and timeframes, making solar projects more viable. - Data Integration: By integrating public and private data sources, we enable better decision-making for solar developers and investors. - Real-Time Access: Explore our platform at app.GridBoost.IO to see how we make solar site selection more efficient. Our Impact: GridBoost addresses the challenge of lacking crucial data for effective site selection, which can lead to higher costs and deployment barriers. Our comprehensive and automated solution helps community solar developers and non-profits bring more renewable energy projects to life, particularly in underserved areas. Our Vision: We aim to make sustainable energy accessible to all, reducing energy costs and enhancing economic opportunities for disadvantaged communities. Our approach supports clean energy adoption and contributes to the global fight against climate change. Get Involved: Join us in our mission to make renewable energy more accessible. Whether you are a solar developer, a non-profit organization, or an investor, we would love to connect with you.
