Splight uses real-time data and machine learning to add a reliable operational layer to grids, enabling 2x more transmission capacity. We solve the grids biggest problems faster and more efficiently than any other solution available today.

The ocean is an immensely powerful force of nature, and our greatest ally to reverse the tides on climate change. By studying the planet’s natural cycles, Captura designed a solution that removes CO2 from the ocean and harnesses its ability to heal the climate—a process known as Direct Ocean Capture. Developed and proven in Caltech’s laboratories, our unique Direct Ocean Capture technology runs with just two ingredients: seawater and renewable electricity. It extracts CO2 directly from seawater to be permanently stored or reused. This amplifies the natural equilibrium between the ocean and atmosphere, drawing carbon out of the air and into the ocean to rebalance. Captura’s approach requires no rare-Earth minerals, adds nothing to the ocean, and leaves no chemicals behind. It’s a low-cost, large-scale carbon removal solution that is environmentally sound.

Mixergy develop smart and connected hot water tanks which enable households to live better, save money, and reduce their impact on the environment. We are re-thinking how hot water is done, using technology to find cost-effective and convenient solutions which help people live more sustainably. Alongside the mass-market deployment of our smart hot water tanks in the UK and overseas, we are also the first to intelligently connect a decentralised, digital network of tanks that can provide flexibility to the grid and support the clean energy transition. As we look ahead to 2030, our goal is to provide a clear path to transition from fossil fuel heating to low and zero-carbon alternatives, enabling us to achieve our vision to make hot water cheaper, greener, and better for all.

Green Li-ion is a developer and provider of innovative battery recycling technologies, that have the potential to revolutionise the global battery recycling sector. The Company’s technologies are modular processing plants which will enable battery recyclers and battery manufacturers to address the pressing need for greater levels of sustainability and security of supply. For further information please go to the Company’s website: greenli-ion.com Green Li-ion solves the existential risk to the precious metals industry and the environment. Our patented deep technology is Cleaner, Faster and 4x more profitable than current Lithium-Ion Battery recycling and the only technology to fully Re-manufacture battery cathode material. For two decades Lithium-Ion batteries have been our preferred source of portable energy. The precious metals used to manufacture them are often mined in socially and environmentally damaging ways. The reason they are not recycled is that it is simply not economical to do so with current technology. Green Li-ion changes this by removing 1 - 3 inefficient processes and improved purity of the output making Lithium-Ion Battery rejuvenation and re-use the new reality.
