PulSenics is a provider of real-time electrochemical system monitoring and control solutions. It utilizes artificial intelligence technology for electrochemical system monitoring and provides insights about electrolyte concentration, membrane health, power consumption, electrode adsorption, and others.
Antora Energy delivers zero-carbon industrial heat and power to heavy industries that are more reliable than fossil fuels. Antora’s thermal energy storage soaks up excess solar and wind electricity and uses it to heat blocks of carbon so they glow like inside a toaster.
Sublime is developing a breakthrough process to make low-carbon cement. The technology replaces the industry's legacy fossil-fuel-intensive thermal calciner process with an electrochemical process that produces low-carbon cement at ambient temperatures with renewable electricity. Sublime was started in 2020, as a spin-out of Yet-Ming Chiang's lab at MIT (Form Energy, A123, American Superconductor, 24M, Desktop Metals).
Fervo Energy provides 24/7 carbon-free energy through the development of next-generation geothermal power. Fervo’s mission is to leverage innovation in geoscience to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy. Geothermal has a major role to play in the future electric grid, and Fervo’s key advancements in drilling and subsurface analytics bring a full suite of modern technology to make geothermal cost competitive.
Found Energy is a renewable energy company engaging in turning aluminum into a renewable energy carrier. It recovers aluminum waste from landfills and uses a carbon-free process to produce hydrogen on-demand for less than $0.50 per kilogram of hydrogen and at five times the volumetric energy density of liquid hydrogen.
Zanskar develops a predictive platform informed by massive data for discovering previously unknown geothermal resources. Its platform includes subsurface characterization technology and massive data sets, enhancing and reducing risk in the exploration of geothermal resources.
Brimstone is on a mission to decarbonize the cement industry, which today is responsible for 7.5% of carbon emissions annually. Founded in 2019, Brimstone developed a breakthrough carbon-negative process to produce the same ordinary portland cement and supplementary cementitious materials used today. These materials have the same quality and performance builders have trusted for decades — now with a positive climate impact.

Aralez Bio uses engineered enzymes to make valuable products in a sustainable way. The company has invented a novel enzymatic method for synthesizing noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) also called unusual or unnatural amino acids. Its proprietary approach enables over 100 ncAAs to be synthesized with perfect enantiopurity in just a single step, with water as the only byproduct
Activate is building a new generation of innovators that can redefine how technology serves society and sustains the planet. We partner with funders and leading research institutions to provide a new path for top scientists and engineers to transform their discoveries into world-changing products. Our fellows are building transformative energy, climate, and manufacturing technologies across two locations: Activate Boston and Cyclotron Road, a program of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Fellows receive funding, access to world-class research facilities, entrepreneurial mentorship, networking, and education.
Aepnus develops low-cost electrolysis equipment to electrify and decarbonize the production of commodity chemicals needed to transition to a carbon-free industry. Salts of Lithium, Sodium, NMC Cathodes, as well as Hydrochloric acid, Sulfuric Acid, and Caustic Soda, are some of the chemicals we currently focus on. By electrifying mineral and chemical refinement trains, we enable domestic production of these materials and position the US as a leader in the global energy transition.
Gradient’s mission is to cool the world by transforming every home to be more comfortable and healthy for the people who inhabit it — without compromising the environment. Today, heating and cooling equipment emits more greenhouse gas emissions than the entire transportation sector, and expansion in the use of cooling is projected to double these emissions in the next 30 years. However, comfortable buildings are critical for health and productivity, especially among communities that are vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Gradient’s vision is a future where everyone has access to comfortable buildings that are fully decarbonized. Our flagship product is a high-efficiency and low-carbon window heat pump suited for moderate climates; our second-generation window heat pump, the All-Weather 120V, is suited for cold climates.
AeroShield manufactures a super-insulating, nanoporous form of glass for energy efficient windows. The AeroShield material can be placed between two panes of glass, similar to a traditional double-pane, to create a product that is 50% more insulating than traditional windows, but with a payback period up to 5 times faster than windows of similar performance.
