Using AI technology, this solution targets the U.S. grid’s largest unmanaged electrical load, offering savings of up to 100 TWh per year. Virtual power plant technology helps meet the rising energy demand from AI data centers, with plans for quick, profitable nationwide deployment to manage peak load effectively.

A novel flow battery design uses a unique membrane to overcome limitations that have hindered commercial adoption. Unlike lithium-based storage, flow batteries generate energy from reactions between energy-rich chemicals. This innovation significantly improves performance, with one expert estimating a tenfold advantage over lithium batteries, potentially enabling broader commercial application.

This patented thermal engine captures low-temperature waste heat to generate energy in industrial and municipal settings, eliminating the need for fuel and emissions. Unlike high-temperature solutions, it works at sub-boiling temperatures, providing access to a significant, untapped market worth billions of dollars in potential opportunities.

With a patent-pending 3D printing process, construction projects can be completed up to four times faster, using concrete, low-concrete, or concrete-free materials. This technology reduces environmental impact, supports decarbonization efforts, and provides a solution to the growing shortage of skilled labor in the construction sector.

Recycled fishing nets become high-performance materials, tackling marine pollution while promoting ocean conservation. This process reduces ghost nets, reclaims valuable resources, and transforms waste into scalable products, addressing pressing challenges in sustainable design and environmental restoration.

Enzyme-driven recycling technologies break down plastics into reusable building blocks, eliminating waste while preserving material quality. This scalable process reduces dependency on fossil fuels, supports biodegradable alternatives, and drives innovations for circular manufacturing, addressing global sustainability challenges.

Advanced enzyme engineering decomposes polymers into reusable components, enabling endless recycling cycles and reducing landfill reliance. This technology lowers environmental impact, cuts production costs, and paves the way for sustainable material development, solving critical challenges in waste transformation.

Innovative recycling processes separate and reclaim fibers from discarded textiles, giving fabrics new life and reducing landfill waste. This closed-loop system addresses resource overuse and environmental damage, promoting sustainable fashion and circular economies at scale.

Eco-friendly materials replace harmful alternatives, cutting carbon emissions while maintaining industrial performance. This technology reduces environmental footprints, supports renewable sourcing, and delivers scalable solutions for greener manufacturing, solving sustainability challenges across industries.

Depolymerization technology restores plastics to their raw molecular forms, enabling infinite recycling without quality loss. This process reduces reliance on virgin materials, conserves resources, and advances circular manufacturing systems, tackling waste challenges in packaging and textiles.

Smart waste technologies streamline collection and recycling, maximizing resource recovery and minimizing landfill use. These solutions improve processing efficiency, promote sustainable infrastructure, and enable circular systems, addressing urgent challenges in urban waste management and resource conservation.

This company was established in 2005 to save London's decommissioned fire-hose, ones that had become too damaged to repair and were going to landfill. Today, their highly skilled craftspeople make beautifully designed bags and homeware from 15 different reclaimed materials. 50% of profits from the Fire-hose Collection go to The Fire Fighters Charity and 50% of profits from the Fire & Hide Collection go to Barefoot College International.

They have developed a sustainable mushroom based material as an alternative to polystyrene styrofoam and cardboard packaging. The material is customizable to any shape, size and surface finish. It is stronger than concrete pound for pound and is a better thermal insulator than fiberglass. It is fire resistant, water proof, 100% compostable, odorless, mold resistant and non-toxic.

This company is a developer of patented water-based technologies to chemically recycle waste plastics; convert heavy crude and bitumen into lighter, more valuable oil; and transform renewable oils into higher-value fuels or renewable chemicals. Their patented technology activates unique properties of water in a chemistry platform that operates at relatively low temperatures and cost, a game-changing novel approach that converts low-value feedstocks into 21st-century resources.
