| Company | Description | Amount | Stage | Date | Website |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Daphne Technology | Daphne Technology is developing a catalyst-free, nano-technology that helps the petrochemical, power and transportation industries reduce air emissions to the levels required by international and national regulations. Daphne Technology’s patented solution can be miniaturized and is especially well-suited to meet the requirements of marine vessels.This approach reduces capital costs when compared to other technologies and can also be used without switching fuel, resulting in a substantial reduction in operating costs. | $19.2M | Venture - Series Unknown | Apr 20, 2026 |  |
| Spark Cleantech | Spark is pioneering a novel method of producing hydrogen: methane plasmalysis, which uses less electricity and has a long carbon sequestration. Plasma discharges are used to power the methane plasmalysis: electrons are produced, accelerated, and hit with methane molecules to disintegrate them. | $34.9M | Series A | Dec 04, 2025 |  |
| Novoloop | Novoloop is an upcycling company that provides a proprietary lifecycling platform to create chemicals and materials from plastic waste. Its Accelerated Thermal Oxidative Decomposition (ATOD) process chemically breaks down plastic films and packaging into monomers, which are then reassembled into virgin-quality TPU and recycled+ formulations. Thecompany operates a demonstration pilot plant in India in partnership with Aether Industries, producing up to 70 metric tons of TPU annually from mixed plastic waste. | $21M | Series B | Jun 25, 2025 |  |
| Elemental Advanced Materials | Elemental Recycling develops a process to upcycle plastic and other organic waste material into high-quality graphite and hydrogen. | $20M | Series B | Jun 17, 2025 |  |
| RepAir | RepAir develops a Direct Air Capture system based on a proprietary electrochemical cell technology that can capture CO2 from the air in gigaton scale. Powered solely by renewable energy, our system can be deployed at the site of carbon storage or utilizations, saving arable land and avoiding CO2 transport. | $15M | Series A | Apr 24, 2025 |  |
| Cool Planet Technologies | Cool Planet Technologies develops a cutting-edge membrane-based technology to absorb carbon dioxide on a large scale from industrial flue gas emissions. Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon, a division of Germany's largest research organization, created the advanced PolyActive membrane used in Cool Planet Technologies' method. | $25.6M | Series A | Oct 22, 2024 |  |
| Econic Technologies | Econic Technologies was born from a vision where catalyst chemistry is used to turn waste CO2 into positive economic and environmental potential. Incorporating waste CO2 as a feedstock for polymer preparation using our novel catalysts reduces the reliance on expensive fossil fuels, turning scientific research into business advantage for plasticsmanufacturers while delivering environmental gain for the benefit of all.This vision was crystallized by Professor Charlotte Williams, then at Imperial College London, and now Professor of Inorganic Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Oxford. It was initially supported by investment from Touchstone Innovations, now IP Group plc, and Norner Verdandi, and now includes backing by Woodford Investment Management, Jetstream Capital, and OGCI Climate Investments.Much progress has been made since then.Econic’s catalyst technologies have been patented, validated in pilot operations and continue to secure additional investment.A talented team of scientists, engineers, and commercial managers now conduct their cutting-edge work in a state-of-the-art facility at Alderley Park, the internationally renowned science hub south of Manchester.All of our efforts are intently focused on the future. A future where waste CO2, a damaging greenhouse gas, is turned into a commercial and environmental gain. A future that starts now. |  |  | Oct 15, 2024 |  |
