HVAC Energy Management as a service

Category: smart buildings, HVAC energy management

Parity

Parity adds intelligence to Building Automation Systems that have changed very little over the last 75 years. With over 100 buildings under contract, this startup developed a reputation for delivering a great service that will save thousands of dollars off the energy costs. In 2021, parity is going to save its customers $4,000,000 in HVAC energy costs. The startup’s technology can save a multi-family building up to 30% off the HVAC Energy costs.

 

A data tracking, management, and exploitation tool for smart electrical grids

Category: smart grid, data management

Traken

TRAKEN is a data tracking, management, and exploitation tool for smart electrical grids, that provides a distributed ledger to manage metering records, track physical objects and transfer value without a third party or manual reconciliation.

 

Decarbonizing concrete production

Category: decarbonization, climate change, clean tech

Carbon Limit

Carbon Limit’s proprietary nanotechnology attracts & mineralizes CO2 pollution from the air into the concrete and stores it permanently.

 

Turning CO₂ into rock

Category: decarbonization, climate change, clean tech

44.01

44.01 turns CO₂ into rock, contributing to lower concentrations of CO₂ in the atmosphere. Company’s vision is to have a positive global impact on the environment, people, and society. Startup’s mission is to make CO₂ mineralization accessible, feasible and scalable. 44.01 helps limit CO₂ concentrations in the atmosphere by permanently mineralizing CO₂ that:
1. Is already in the atmosphere – with that, we reduce actual atmospheric CO₂ concentrations, and
2. Is emitted by certain processes from hard to decarbonize sectors, and only that are considered residual emissions – this impedes the build-up of CO₂ in the atmosphere

 

A platform that measures asset-level Carbon Footprint

Category: decarbonization, climate change

Carbon Analytics

Carbon Analytics solves a crucial problem in reducing the impact of climate change by helping asset intensive companies with complex supply chains reduce their carbon footprint.
Startup’s chosen specialism is based on a unique carbon tracking, intelligence and offsetting platform for businesses involved in industrial decarbonization.

 

All-in-one carbon management software

Category: decarbonization, climate change, carbon management

Tapioview

Tapio is an all-in-one carbon management software allowing companies to contribute to carbon neutrality. By taking into account the whole stakeholder web, the startup focuses on companies’ Scope 3 emissions which represent more than 70% of total emissions for manufacturers (IOP Science) and up to 80% for consumer-good organizations (McKinsey).
