Aepnus Technology is dedicated to the electrification and decarbonization of the manufacturing process of several commonly used chemicals. In simpler terms, our mission is to create technology that utilizes electricity, preferably from renewable sources, to synthesize chemicals using a process known as electrolysis. Currently, our primary objective is to focus on the electrolytic conversion of sulfate salts into metal hydroxides (caustic), as well as concentrated sulfuric acid. This application is especially relevant in the realms of lithium mining, lithium battery recycling, and Cathode Active Materials (CAM) processing.

Nth Cycle is a metal refining company. We work with scrap recyclers and miners to recover production-grade critical metals from industrial scrap, low-grade ore, and refining waste. Our patented electro-extraction technology, the Oyster — an alternative to hydrometallurgy and pyrometallurgy — enables customizable, clean, and consistent recovery of the critical metals for the energy transition.

Imagine industry without combustion. At Electrified Thermal Solutions, we've re-invented the firebrick to electrify industrial heat. Developed over almost a decade at MIT, our electrically-conductive firebricks are the heart of our thermal energy storage systems (JOULE HIVES) that provide low-cost heat to even the hottest industrial applications.

Residential air conditioning is becoming a necessity rather than a luxury. Three billion new residential air conditioning units will be purchased and installed throughout the world by 2050. India and China will account for the majority of this global expansion. Using a novel desiccant material developed at MIT, Transaera is developing an ultra-efficient air conditioning system that will bring comfort to billions of people while reducing the impact on climate and grid infrastructure.

Ayrton Energy’s mission is to provide energy security fueled by hydrogen. Ayrton’s proprietary technology enables hydrogen to be stored within an organic liquid, which can be handled and transported no differently than gasoline. This straightforward storage approach enables hydrogen to be used as a power generating fuel to meet energy needs above grid capacity or in the case of a power outage and enables hydrogen to be a viable replacement for diesel generators and lithium-ion batteries, further reducing grid pressure and providing a path for net-zero energy.

Noon Energy develops an ultra-low-cost, long-duration, energy-dense battery that enables the storage of renewable energy, ensuring availability 24/7. The company focuses on making renewable energy sources like solar and wind more reliable and accessible, addressing their intermittent nature. Founded in 2018 and based in Palo Alto, California, Noon Energy aims to create a fully-renewable future through innovative energy storage solutions inspired by nature. Their technology has demonstrated viability, and they are currently in a growth phase, seeking to expand their impact in the energy sector.

At OXCCU, we are at the forefront of scientific advancement, shaping the future of sustainable energy and fuel, chemical and plastic production. We combine CO2 from the air with H2 from water and renewable electricity, producing lower carbon or circular fuels, chemicals, and biodegradable plastics. Carbon is an incredibly useful element, especially when used in hydrocarbons. Our mission is to enable future generations the continued use of hydrocarbon fuels but without their climate impact. Despite the growing prevalence of renewable energy, fossil fuels still accounted for 82% of the 604 EJ of primary energy the world needed in 2022. To limit the impact of greenhouse gas emissions, we must transition to zero-emission sources within just 30 years. While some sectors, such as power, are already on this path, not all sectors are easy to decarbonise using renewable electricity directly. In particular, long-distance aviation transport fuels, with energy density requirements beyond

Sustainable energy used to be more expensive, but that hasn't been true for several years now. Large enterprises are taking advantage to get cheaper and cleaner energy. Sustaine makes energy easy for small to medium businesses with powerful proprietary software. We show businesses their cheapest and cleanest solution in simple terms—and then make it happen for them. All at no cost.
