We back entrepreneurs and companies who share our vision

Sierra Energy

Sierra Energy’s FastOx gasification waste-to-energy  technology turns your waste streams into renewable  energy. FastOx gasifier systems are a clean alternative to (and able to eliminate) landfills and incineration. It  can take virtually any trash, including household trash, hazardous waste, tyres, medical waste, construction and demolition materials are converted into clean energy, without burning. This produces no waste or emissions.

Opus 12

Opus 12 have developed a device that recycles CO₂ into cost-competitive chemicals and fuels. The technology bolts onto any source of CO₂ emissions, and with only water and electricity as inputs, transforms that CO₂ into some of the world's most critical chemical products. Their invention combines new catalysts with a novel drop-in component that reprograms existing hardware to split CO₂. It’s a capital-light solution that takes advantage of technology that has been commercialized for decades.

Evrnu

Evrnu is a textile innovations company. They have invented an entirely new kind of engineered fibre with extraordinary performance and environmental advantages, made from discarded clothing.Evrnu's suite of innovative technologies are designed to help the global textile industry grow by unlocking the full potential of the world's existing natural resources.

AgriProtein

Using fly larvae fed on existing organic waste,  AgriProtein has developed and tested a new large scale and sustainable source of natural protein. The bioconversion process takes organic waste streams from food factories, supermarkets, farms and restaurants, and recycles these into valuable products: an insect based complete protein – MagMeal™, an extracted fat – MagOil™ and a rich residual soil conditioner – MagSoil™.

Clara Foods

Clara has disrupted the world with the first animal-free egg white and other protein-based products for sports nutrition, baking, and industrial uses. By using fermentation to turn sugars into proteins, Clara designs yeast to produce the same proteins people know and love but are produced completely animal-free, use less land and water, while matching the taste, nutritional value, and unique culinary properties.

Shiok Meats

Shiok Meats is a cell-based clean meat company focused on cell-based crustacean meats (shrimp, crab, lobster by harvesting from cells instead of animals.

Vast Solar

Although not an investor in Vast Solar, we are a huge cheerleader of their amazing CSP technology, which delivers utility scale renewable energy generation with scalable, thermal storage. This delivers the ability to generate renewable energy during the day and to dispatch renewable energy 24/7 – during the day and night. By helping re-engineer the future of large scale energy storage, Vast Solar’s technology will help resolve intermittency challenges associated with variable renewable energy sources (VRES) as they deliver increasingly more ‘bulk’ renewable energy to the world’s power grids.

Pacific Green Technologies

With its patented technology Pacific Green Technologies is able to offer a wide range of emission-control systems for power plants and ships throughout the world.

Ocean Rainforest

Ocean Rainforest cultivate seaweed in pristine Nordic ocean waters, improving people’s wellbeing and making a unique contribution to our blue planet. They  seed, grow, harvest, and process seaweed themselves. Their gentle handling process is performed locally by a team of passionate experts, who ensure the seaweed stays rich in nutrients. They offer a collection of premium fully-traceable seaweed products, mostly to food and cosmetic producers.

Zirconia

A patented new take on coatings that creates a physical barrier to microbes and their food source, preventing them from colonising the concrete surface to create immortal concrete. 

OneCrop

OneCrop Biodegradable plastic film for the agricultural industry in broad-acre and horticultural growing in a variety of cropping systems across the majority of soil types and climates around the world. 

AST

Using symbiotic fungi (endophytes) to create seed and plant treatments that confer stress tolerance on plants.

Licella

Nature takes millions of years to create fossil oil. The Cat-HTR™ takes 20-30 minutes to create a renewable biocrude oil. Using water at near or supercritical temperatures, the Cat-HTR™ converts a wide variety of low-cost, waste feedstocks and residues into high-value products. Licella’s Cat-HTR™ process is significantly less energy intensive relative to other technologies, including gasification to Fisher Tropsch synthesis, which need to add external hydrogen. Cat-HTR™ utilisies the hydrogen in the water of the feedstock.
