Ascend Elements (formerly Battery Resourcers)

Span has overhauled the 100-year-old electrical panel to bring the innovations of tomorrow into the homes of today.

AMB’s innovative “dry” process to print Li-ion battery electrodes can reduce energy consumption of a battery plant by 50%, save 40% in capital expenditure and enable potentially higher energy, faster charging, and lower cost batteries.

Verdagy is innovating water- electrolysis technology for the large-scale production of green hydrogen.

Divirod’s cost-effective and scalable water network solution brings accessible, hyperlocal, and high-quality data in real-time.

Novalith’s technology solutions capture and leverage carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere to isolate and extract higher quality – battery grade – lithium from resource deposits, with no harmful by-products. Their process uses less water, smaller infrastructure, and is a lower cost than current industry standards.

Type One Energy is tackling the technical challenges that have kept fusion from becoming a practical reality with the latest advances in additive manufacturing and high-temperature superconductor magnets.

pH7 Technologies developed a proprietary metal-extraction process utilizing non-toxic organic and inorganic chemistry, as well as electrochemistry to drive extraction of metals and key minerals from ores, concentrates, and end-of-life materials.

Peak Energy has developed an innovative sodium-ion-based energy-storage solution that is expected to be more cost-effective, durable, and easier to mass produce domestically.

Exponent believes EVs have completed the 0 to 1 shift of driving better than conventional vehicles. However, for the industry to exponentially scale from 1 to 100, the underlying energy problem needs to be simplified.

Amperesand’s infrastructure solutions, powered by novel solid-state transformer (SST) technology, enable efficient, intelligent, and resilient electrification on a global scale.

At INERATEC, they are pioneering the post-fossil fuel age by saying goodbye to crude oil and saying hello to a planet powered by synthetic fuel. Made in their Power-to-X plants, their e-Fuels and e-Chemicals can change the transportation and chemical industries as we know them.

Spiritus, a climate technology company, is changing the face of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) with an innovative direct air capture (DAC) technology that is set to remove the 20-billion tons of carbon from the atmosphere annually through 2050 necessary to limit global warming to 2oC or lower by 2100.

Tulum Energy, a startup, produces clean turquoise hydrogen for industrial uses via methane pyrolysis and repurposed equipment. TDK Ventures’ investment boosts Tulum’s tech, leveraging electric-arc plasma to achieve cost parity with traditional hydrogen and cut carbon emissions.
