Toco

Toco is on a mission to revolutionize the economic system by recognising our most valuable asset - our Home Planet. Through an innovative approach, Toco introduces a new digital currency backed by real-world climate projects that reduce and remove CO2 from the atmosphere and contribute to saving our Home Planet. With an easy-to-use payment app, Toco makes every transaction - from buying a plant-based burger to renting a city bike - a step forward towards solving climate change. OUR WHY: We are on a mission to solve climate change. We must protect our common resources that are vital to life on earth. We are uniting communities to make climate action simple. HOW: We have tested this concept in Stellenbosch, a small South African town, with 67% business adoption and 45% MoM Community growth. Individuals could live in a currency that values the environment instead of its destruction. We are now expanding in Zurich and Denmark. Toco is a new global currency backed by CO2 (Supported by https://www.thecarbonreserve.org/) Every toco represents one tonne of CO2 credibly mitigated from the atmosphere. We turn economic activity into climate action. CURRENTLY: This summer, Toco is launching in Copenhagen, offering a unique opportunity to join a climate-forward movement of talented individuals called the Custodians of the Common. Custodians are passionate about using their time and talents to protect the environment and solve the greatest challenge of our time - climate change. Custodians come together to create change NOW, driven by the realisation that time is running out for the planet’s finite resources and there is NO PLAN(ET) B! As a Custodian, you will be at the forefront of introducing Toco to Copenhagen, spreading the word, and onboarding businesses and individuals to join the movement and start using a currency that directly contributes to sustainable projects that remove or reduce carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, to combat climate change. Beyond the climate impact that each Custodian creates, Custodians volunteer their time and are financially rewarded based on the climate impact they create.

TEGnology

With a core technology of thermal energy harvesting, TEGnology works on smart power supply solutions for future IoT devices, which don't rely on batteries or cables. It opens opporutnities for generating more data, making more precise moniroting, or installing sensor in the places difficult to reach. Digital transition and industrial automantion sill based on installing a large number of wireless sensor nodes, most of which are currently powered by batteries. Despite the relatively low cost of batteries, the enevitable man-powered involved in maintaining the keeping track of batteries might be problematic, not to mention batteries pollutes. Thermal energy harvesting converts temperature gradience directly into electricity. No moving parts or chemical reactions are involved. The lifetime of thermal generator is therefore typically decades. During the entire lifetime, more energy can be provided than any type of batteries. All materials used in TEGnology’s thermal energy harvesters are abundant and environmentally-friendly. The manufacture method is compatible with existing industrial standard. It makes up-scaling of production relatively straightforward.

Airlabs

Electricity Maps

Electricity Maps provides actionable electricity data for more than 200 regions. We help businesses more effectively reduce their emissions, and enable products and services to differentiate their offerings by empowering end-users to be more carbon-aware. As wind and solar production fluctuate throughout the day, this information needs to be dynamic and updated in real-time. As this real-time information about the physical origin of electricity will be scrutinized and challenged by many parties, the effort has to be collaborative, open, and transparent. This is what motivated the creation of Electricity Maps. It started as a simple real-time data visualization in June 2016 and turned into a comprehensive data platform with high scientific integrity. More than 40,000 people use our app on a daily basis and market leaders like Google and Microsoft, are using our API for extensive projects in order to reach their climate goals and help their users take action against climate change. Our goal: a truly decarbonized electricity system. To get there, we will organize the world's electricity information, and use it to drive the transition toward a truly decarbonized electricity system.

GLYON

GLYON is developing a CO₂-powered textile-to-textile recycling technology to help brands, fiber producers, and recyclers solve the growing textile waste crisis with a breakthrough chemical recycling process that turns waste into virgin-quality raw materials for new fibers—without fossil fuels. We address the massive problem of textile waste, a global crisis where over 92 million tonnes of textile waste are discarded each year—most of it ending up in landfills or incinerated. This contributes to major pollution issues but also forces the textile industry to continue its dependence on virgin fossil-based materials. Our solution targets fiber producers, brands, and recyclers who need circular raw material solutions. Our CO₂-based chemical recycling process breaks down polyester textiles into building blocks and leaves other fibers like cotton intact. Both PET building blocks and cotton can be used to produce new, high-quality fibers without the need for virgin oil and reducing water consumption and CO₂ emissions.
