| Aquanta Vision | Aquanta Vision provides optical gas imaging detection software which improves methane leak identification during inspections. |  | Pre-Seed | May 19, 2026 |  |
| Via Separations | Via Separations is enabling industrial decarbonization with its novel chemistries that allow manufacturing facilities to slash their energy consumption while making more product. Targeting the 12% of US energy consumption that is wasted each year separating chemicals, Via reduces the load of the process by 90%, electrifies the mostenergy-intensive step in chemical production, and generates additional revenue for the customer. Today, Via is deploying its technology in pilot trials at pulp & paper facilities to eliminate 100 million metric tons of CO2 by 2050. Via’s innovation is a highly selective and robust membrane filter that replaces the energy-inefficient heat-based separations in industrial processes. Spun out of MIT’s Department of Material Science & Engineering, Via has scaled up the technology by more than 10 million times and demonstrated working prototypes at a commercial scale. | $36M | Venture - Series Unknown | Apr 01, 2026 |  |
| Arbor Energy | Arbor Energy presents systems that convert organic waste and traditional fuels into electricity while capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The company designs modular power stations built around a supercritical CO₂ turbine and oxy-combustion technology to deliver baseload electricity with zero operating emissions. Arbor Energy’s approachemphasizes fuel flexibility, allowing the use of natural gas, syngas, or organic waste, and aims to support both reliable energy production and carbon-removal efforts. The company also highlights a background rooted in aerospace engineering and applies those technical skills to power generation. Through its integrated technology, Arbor Energy offers a pathway for stakeholders to engage in power production and carbon management under one platform. | $55M | Series A | Oct 21, 2025 |  |

| Blue Planet | Blue Planet’s technology uses CO2 as a raw material for making carbonate rocks. The carbonate rocks produced are used in place of natural limestone rock mined from quarries, which is the principal component of concrete. CO2 from flue gas is converted to carbonate (or CO3=) by contacting CO2 containing gas with water-based capture solutions. Thisdifferentiates Blue Planet from most CO2 capture methods because the captured CO2 does not require a purification step, which is an energy and capital intensive process. As a result, Blue Planet’s capture method is extremely efficient and results in a lower cost than traditional methods of CO2 capture. |  | Corporate Round | Jan 16, 2024 |  |
| Sapphire Technologies | Sapphire Technologies develops, manufactures, and sells energy recovery systems for both natural gas and hydrogen industrial and commercial applications. The company's systems are designed to convert waste energy from pressure reduction processes into electric power without disrupting operations. We help companies maximize plant efficiencies,improve productivity, reduce carbon emissions, offset electrical costs, and generate cashflow by recovering this wasted pressure energy. | $10M | Series B | Aug 16, 2023 |  |
| LF Bioenergy | LF Bioenergy is a biotech firm that operates a network of renewable natural gas production facilities with the goal of lowering greenhouse gas emissions. The company collaborates with dairy farmers to provide renewable infrastructure solutions that convert farm waste into renewable natural gas for the agricultural sector, allowing clients toimprove profitability, reduce manure management costs, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. | $50M | Secondary Market | Mar 08, 2023 |  |
