Startup Portfolio | Low Carbon Materials

Aureus Earth

Creating new economic tools for monetizing the carbon reduction and storage capacity of the built environment.

Brimstone Energy

Developing a CO2-free process to produce Portland cement, the exact same material that the industry uses today.

Carbon Cell

Developing a carbon-negative, compostable, and high performance expanded foam replacement to EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) Insulation — for use in packaging, insulation, and more.

CleanFiber

Providing carbon-negative cellulose insulation that outperforms conventional products, without added costs.

Criaterra Innovations

Developing and manufacturing circular products for buildings that are made in a kiln-free process, creating value in low embodied carbon, insulation, installation time and overall cost.

Determinant Materials

Providing low-carbon, zero-waste critical metals needed for the climate transition.

DTE Materials

Accelerating concrete decarbonization through low-cost, low-capex bioaggregate solutions that directly reduce emissions by ~40%.

EnviCore

Repurposing waste minerals into cementitious materials to replace cement by up to 30% and reduce associated CO2 emissions by 85%.

Ferrum Technologies

Decarbonizing global steel production cost competitively with the vision to eliminate the 3 Gt CO2 emitted by the industry every year.

FSC Technologies

Delivering a cost effective and environmentally sustainable technology to the concrete construction industry by replacing steel reinforcement with new FRP technology and utilizing low carbon cements.

Kelp Island

Developing floating, interlocking bricks made of a high-strength kelp composite to decarbonize the marine construction sector using sequestered biomass.

Materials Nexus

Accelerating the discovery and development process of new net-zero materials.

MOXY

Developing a low-cost material for home construction made from scrap fiber, which sequesters CO2 to offer replacement material for carbon-neutral manufacturing.

Mycotech Labs

Producing vegan leather from crop waste and mushrooms.

okom wrks labs

Creating the world's strongest carbon-storing mycelium based composite capable of serving in load-bearing and non load-bearing applications in the built environment.

RIZOME

Achieving cost parity with wood to provide a fungible structural alternative with significant social, economic, and environmental benefits as a building material.
