| 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. |  | Venture - Series Unknown | Jun 18, 2026 |  |
| Syzygy Plasmonics | Syzygy Plasmonics is a developer of a photocatalytic reactor designed for fuel cell vehicles and small-scale industrial applications.The company's reactor is powered by light and operates at over 1,000°F lower temperature than conventional chemical reactor technology that helps in reducing maintenance costs and is able to start or stopproduction near instantaneously, enabling fuel cell vehicle companies to produce ultra-low-cost hydrogen gas on-site at customer locations. |  | Venture - Series Unknown | Jun 18, 2026 |  |

| Ionomr | Ionomr is pioneering and commercializing the world's most advanced ion-exchange materials. These provide an enabling platform for clean tech solutions after more than five decades of stagnation in available materials. Using our deep knowledge of scalable electrochemical systems, we enable more efficient systems that will lead to thedecarbonization of the planet for future generations. To date, electrochemical applications in the clean tech realm use materials that contain toxic fluorinated chemicals (PFCs). PFCs leach into water sources and bioaccumulate for hundreds of years, having a dire impact on human health and the entire ecosystem. We are driven to replace these materials with our environmentally friendly hydrocarbon alternatives that reduce pollution at the source, and are proven to be more durable and efficient than incumbent materials. Ionomr's membranes and polymers are highly processable, which allow for simple integration into electrochemical systems. We enable optimal performance in applications for chemical & water remediation, energy storage and hydrogen. We are passionate about empowering the development of resilient and sustainable systems that will underlie the future of the renewable energy and circular chemical economies. |  | Venture - Series Unknown | Oct 03, 2024 |  |
