Hydrogen Optimized develops High Current Electrolyzers
Founding Year: 2017
Location: Owen Sounds, Canada
Use for: Heavy-Duty Vehicle Fuel, Green Hydrogen
Canadian startup Hydrogen Optimized develops scalable electrolyzer technology to manufacture green hydrogen. The startup’s RuggedCell is a high-current water electrolyzer that uses renewable energy sources such as solar and wind to create green hydrogen electrofuel. It is optimized for high-power systems up to 100’s of megawatts and is designed to be low maintenance, cost-effective when scaled, and within a small footprint. Industries and applications that involve heavy-duty vehicles use large quantities of highly polluting fossil fuels. However, green hydrogen manufactured by the startup’s electrolyzers enables vehicle owners, operators, and industries to replace fossil fuels and reduce carbon emissions.
Advanced Biofuel Solutions manufactures Hydrogen Production Reactors
Founding Year: 2019
Location: Swindon, UK
Use for: Fossil Fuel Replacement, Biofuels, Biohydrogen
Advanced Biofuel Solutions produce carbon emission-free biofuels. Their sustainable RadGas technology converts waste into a high-quality synthesis gas to produce clean biohydrogen and biomethane. RadGas, along with carbon sequestration, provides a scalable production method for bioelectrofuels that serve as a green alternative to fossil fuels. This also enables waste and biomass generation facilities to recycle their materials and reduce the cost of generating green and sustainable biofuels.
Phycobloom provides Bio-Oils
Founding Year: 2019
Location: London, UK
Use for: Crude Oil Replacement, Bio-Oil
UK-based startup Phycobloom uses synthetic biology to generate oil from carbon dioxide. The startup achieves this through the use of adapted algae to efficiently produce fuel by capturing carbon. The algae create oil using just air, water, and sunlight while diverting large amounts of carbon from the atmosphere. Millions of tons of greenhouse gasses are released into the atmosphere every year in the production of oil. This is rapidly driving climate change, which is where the startup’s green electrofuel solution provides oil-dependent industries and applications with a sustainable alternative.
Solitaire Power offers Synthetic Natural Gas
Founding Year: 2016
Location: Lappeenranta, Finland
Use for: Low-Carbon Automotive Fuel, Synthetic Methane Gas
Finnish startup Soltair Power develops a power-to-x technology (P2X) to produce synthetic methane fuel. The startup’s P2X unit works by capturing carbon dioxide from the air and combining it with hydrogen created through water-electrolysis. Afterward, a biomethanation process converts it into carbon-neutral synthetic methane fuel which serves as an alternative clean fuel source. This solution enables the energy industry in its decarbonization efforts by reducing carbon in the atmosphere and creating oxygen as the only emission. Moreover, the benefits of the technology also extend to industries such as automotive.
Flemtec provides Low-Carbon Ammonia
Founding Year: 2019
Location: Auckland, New Zealand
Use for: Carbon-Free Ammonia, Renewable Hydrogen
Flemtec is a New Zealand-based startup that develops technologies to produce ammonia and hydrogen fuel without CO2 emissions. The startup’s production system uses hydrogen and nitrogen from captured air to produce ammonia. It connects to renewable energy sources to completely remove CO2 generated from the ammonia production cycle. Though ammonia is an important fuel source to decarbonize transportation as it does not emit carbon, its high cost is a barrier to its mass adoption. Flemtec’s low-cost system overcomes this challenge.
