Carbon to Value Initiative Year 2 Final Showcase

345 Park Avenue South,New York NY 10010

01 December, 2022

Description

Join us in New York City on Thursday December 1 to celebrate the culmination of the second year of the Carbon to Value (C2V) Initiative! Hear from the 8 Year 2 Cohort startups shaping the future of the carbontech industry as they each present their unique solutions, the progress they’ve made throughout the past six months of the C2V program, and where they are headed next. At this event, attendees will: Hear presentations from the C2V Year 2 Cohort of carbontech startups developing technology and business innovations to capture, convert, and/or sequester carbonLearn form carbontech expertsHave the opportunity to network with government, nonprofit, and corporate executives from the Carbontech Leadership CouncilMeet with carbontech entrepreneurs, investors, and other climate championsAgenda (6:00 - 8:00 pm EST) 5:30 - 6 :00 pm - Check-In and Networking 6:00 - 6:30 pm - Welcome Remarks & keynote speaker, Amishi Kumar Claros, Acting Division Director, Carbon Dioxide Removal and Conversion 6:30 - 7:00 pm - Startup presentations 7:00 - 8:00 pm - Networking Reception (In-Person) The C2V Initiative's Year 2 Cohort: Aluminum Technologies has developed Carbo-Chloride Reduction (CCR) aluminum manufacturing technology, which captures process CO2 and also reduces power consumption relative to conventional methods.Carbon Upcycling Technologies utilizes point-source CO2 and mineralizes it with waste materials to create supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) that can be used in building materials.Carbonova utilizes CO2 and methane as a feedstock to produce carbon nanofibers (CNF) that may be used in various fields such as transportation and buildings.ecoLocked converts waste biomass into biochar to create admixes that can replace a share of the cement used in concrete manufacturing, and thus sequester carbon within buildings.Full Cycle Bioplastics has a patented bacteria-based technology that converts organic waste into Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), a biopolymer that can be used to replace a wide range of oil-based plastic applications.Lydian Labs develops an electro-thermal reactor technology that converts captured CO2 into fuels and chemicals.Molecule Works develops a solid sorbent Direct Air Capture (DAC) system using a novel reactor and contactor configuration.Osmoses develops polymers for gas separation, enabling membrane-based carbon capture applications.Learn more about the startups in our C2V Year 2 Cohort Book! The C2V Initiative is a multi-year collaboration among The Urban Future Lab (UFL), Greentown Labs, and the Fraunhofer USA. This unique partnership is driving the creation of a thriving innovation ecosystem for the commercialization of carbontech—technologies that capture, convert, and sequesterstore carbon dioxide (CO₂) into valuable end products or services. The C2V Initiative is supported by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), and tYear 2 Cohort Champion Fluor Corporation, and the Carbontech Leadership Council members.
