We're still reflecting on how incredible our annual Laureate Celebration was last Thursday during #ClimateWeekNYC. Seeing so many passionate climate solutionists, leaders, and innovators gathered in one room filled us with hope and inspiration for the future. Thank you to everyone who traveled from near and far to join us in celebrating the transformative work of our laureates. 📷 Photo credit: Nina Roberts #GlobalWarmingMitigationProject #KeelingCurvePrize #LaureateCelebration

ANNOUNCING: the nine startups selected for Year 4 of the #C2VInitiative! 🔸 Ardent is a process technology company that is developing membrane-based solutions for point-source carbon capture and other chemical separations. 🔸 CarbonBlue develops a chemical process that mineralizes and extracts CO2 from water, which then reabsorbs more atmospheric CO2. 🔸 MacroCycle Technologies develops a chemical recycling process to turn polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyester-fiber waste into “virgin-grade” plastics. 🔸 Maple Materials develops an electrolysis process to convert CO2 into graphite and oxygen.  🔸 Oxylus Energy develops a direct electrochemical process to convert CO2 into fuels and chemical feedstocks, such as methanol. 🔸 Phlair develops a renewable-energy-powered Direct Air Capture (DAC) system using an electrochemical process for acid and base generation. Secant Fuel develops a one-step electrocatalytic process that converts flue gas into syngas. 🔸 RenewCO₂ is developing an electrochemical process to convert CO2 into fuels and chemicals, such as sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) or propylene glycol.  🔸 Seabound builds carbon-capture equipment for new and existing ships. Over this six-month accelerator, which is designed to advance the startups’ commercialization efforts and de-risk their #carbontech innovations, the cohort will gain access to the Carbontech Leadership Council and other resources valuable to their growth. You can meet the cohort at the Year 4 Kickoff Event on Sept. 19: https://lnkd.in/edgk9AgP Read the full announcement: https://lnkd.in/eNbMasak Urban Future Lab Fraunhofer USA Inc. 

🎉 Episode 2 of "30 & Thriving" is now live! 🎉 Do you think you need a computer science degree to start a successful tech company? 🤔 Meet Alisha Fredriksson, a former gymnast turned expert in climate crisis mitigation technologies, who raised millions to found Seabound. A company with a mission to change the world 🌍 Did you know global shipping accounts for 11% of total emissions in the transport sector? This figure could rise by a staggering 250% by 2050 if we don't act. But Alisha and her team at Seabound have a plan to tackle this challenge head-on 🚢 In this episode, we discuss: Her journey from gymnast to entrepreneur. The intersection of being a professional athlete and running a business 🏅 How to gain credibility with investors in a technical and politically sensitive industry 🤝 The realistic efforts needed to combat the climate crisis 💪 Every guest I've interviewed has been impressive for different reasons, but Alisha's story is truly inspirational 🌟 It's because of people like her that our world is becoming a better place 💖 Tune in to learn how being a tech entrepreneur can coexist with caring for our planet 🌿 #TechForGood #ClimateAction #Entrepreneurship #Inspiration #30AndThriving

The shipping industry has set ambitious decarbonization goals. But how to get there? Katie Brigham reports on Seabound, a company making tech for shippers to capture their carbon emissions at sea. “There is so much CO2 out there being emitted by ships, and not a lot of solutions yet going after them,” said CEO Alisha Fredriksson. Two years ago, Seabound raised a $4.4 million seed round led by Lowercarbon Capital. Fredricksson expects the company will raise a Series A round later this year or early next, to help build its first full scale system and start delivering to commercial customers in 2025.
