Evok Innovations’ Post

XPRIZE has released its Top 100 Carbon Removal Innovators list after three years of competition and several rounds of judging. Planetary's latest submission to the XPRIZE competition was no joke, with many hours of review, scrutiny, and diligence going into it. That's why it's an incredible honor for our Planetary team to be called amongst the best in the world as a carbon removal solution! If you've ever wondered "what are some of the most cutting-edge solutions to climate change?" be sure to read about some of the very cool companies listed here. Reduce Emissions, Remove, Restore #XPRIZECarbonRemoval #GettingtoGigatonne

Removing gigatonnes of CO2 is one of the most significant grand challenges humanity has ever faced. In order to get to that magnitude of removal we need a mosaic of solutions removing CO2 from our air and oceans. Check out the #XPRIZECarbonRemoval Top 100 Teams Book, which highlights teams that represent a new generation of promising solutions across a huge range of carbon removal pathways. I can’t wait to see these teams scale their solutions! @XPRIZE https://lnkd.in/giBiriWw

Congratulations to the Celsius Energy team for this prestigious award recognition! #wearSLB #BNEFPioneers #forabalanceplanet https://lnkd.in/g8XjrRaA Conventional geoenergy heating and cooling installations typically require a surface footprint about the size of a football pitch, whereas the Celsius Energy solution requires only about two parking spaces. This drastically reduces the physical area needed for construction, making the Celsius Energy solution adaptable to new construction and renovations, especially in dense urban areas. The combination of the unique well design with a GSHP and an innovative digital control system has been proven to reduce up to 90% of a building’s CO2 emissions and about 70% of its energy consumption for heating and cooling.

Congratulations to Element Zero - named today as one of this year's BloombergNEF Pioneers, an award that recognizes startups developing the most promising climate technologies in the world. This recognition underscores the clear and urgent need for global decarbonization. 💡 𝐀𝐝𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 Element Zero has developed a novel approach to convert metal ores into pure metal form with zero carbon emissions. This is a significant innovation, as the traditional production of iron, silicon, and other future-facing metals involves energy-intensive and carbon-intensive processes. Yet, the demand for these materials is rapidly increasing as the world transitions to a more sustainable future. 🌿 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 Element Zero is poised to drive meaningful change in an industry that has historically been a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Their work in developing a carbon-free metal production process is truly exciting and holds great promise in supporting global efforts to combat climate change. We are thrilled to support Michael Masterman, Bart Kolodziejczyk OAM and the entire Element Zero team!

XPRIZE continues to do awesome work in catalyzing carbon removal. Of course we need to reduce emissions, but we also need to build an entirely new capability to pull excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Here they highlight 100 of the top companies that are innovating to build the new approaches needed.

Woah! It's not everyday one of your investee companies makes national TV! Amazing work ENSO - watch the clip of their Earthshot Prize on the BBC. All at Deepbridge Capital are very proud. The power of EIS to put a UK company on the world stage. https://lnkd.in/gdhsGv8U #sustainability #electriccars #circulareconomy #eis #UKplc #technologyinvesting

This is what technology spillovers across the carbon capture supply chain can look like - a key lever to getting the higher end of the learning rates we will need to scale this technology more broadly and cheaply! We previously estimated the difference in the CAPEX bill with a 2% delta (e.g. 13% vs. 15%) in learning rates is 2-3x; collaborations are absolutely key! https://lnkd.in/es8F-59B
