EOS Climate is a producer of high-quality, verified emission reductions (VERs) generated from the destruction of ozone depleting substances (ODS), which are also extremely potent greenhouse gases. While ODS such as CFCs are no longer manufactured, they are still emitted by leaky, old air conditioning units and refrigeration equipment. As greenhouse gases (GHGs), ODS are up to 11,000 times more powerful than carbon-dioxide and represent a ticking time bomb for our global climate system. Current inventories of ODS are equivalent to approximately 2.5 times the total annual GHG emissions of the United States.

The company's pioneering work is supporting a new global effort to create market-based incentives to prevent emissions and accelerate transition to more advanced,

Sitting at the confluence of population growth, growing demand of a global middle class, rising fuel prices, and the maturation of aquaculture, Global Fresh Foods (GFF) is a technology-enabled logistics company that will re-map global flows of seafood products through fundamental reductions in the cost structure of moving fresh fish and other perishable meats to market.

Seafood is the fastest growing food category for human consumption, and the most species diverse.  These species can only be grown in certain climates, and combined with their high value and perishability, currently travel to market in huge volumes via expensive air freight.  The high, fuel

Integrated Photovoltaics (iPV) is an early stage company working to create a drop-in replacement for crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells.  Rather than casting an ingot of polysilicon and then sawing it into wafers (to be processed into solar cells), iPV’s approach skips these steps and creates a wafer directly (although we can’t say how) with a high quality crystal structure suitable for solar cells.  This

Kurion is an advanced materials company providing solutions for isolation and long-term storage of nuclear waste. It was the only U.S. company and the only startup to participate in the unprecedented cleanup effort of the Fukashima nuclear disaster. Kurion's technology centers around two critical tasks: separating nuclear waste from water or other liquids, and isolating that waste in a way that stabilizes it for the hundreds of years required for it to naturally decay.

Kurion’s systems are modular, reliable, and substantially reduce total costs for cleanup. The company was founded

Electric motors account for 45% of global electricity consumption, and two thirds of power used in industry. But electric motors haven't evolved in decades, there's no room for further innovation, right? Wrong. In a way that only an outsider to the industry could have dreamed up, NovaTorque has disrupted the design of the electric motor to bring to market a motor that is both less expensive upfront as well as more efficient to operate. In the industrial markets NovaTorque targets, this combination is of enormous interest. The company’s motor achieves this with the added advantage of being more compact than comparable state-of-the-art motors and not requiring the use of expensive rare earth magnets.
