Turning air pollution into diamonds, how this startup is removing CO2 from air?
The amount of CO2 already emitted into the atmosphere is so vast that simply reducing emissions won’t be enough to achieve climate targets. To stabilize global temperatures, we must remove billions of tons of CO2 annually from the atmosphere. Yet, existing technologies remain inefficient and costly. A startup called Ucaneo aims to address this challenge […]
EV Batteries Could Last Over 15 Years With This Technology
EVs have grown rapidly in recent years, making the accurate diagnosis of EV battery health more crucial than ever. The lack of real-time, field-applicable diagnostic tools contributes to issues like battery fires, inaccurate charge readings, and premature degradation. While looking for emerging solutions to these critical problems, we came across a French startup – Entroview. […]
This Startup Turns White Paint Into Next-Gen Batteries!
Lithium-titanate (LTO) batteries are some of the safest and most robust in the EV and energy storage sectors. However, they have two significant drawbacks: They’re expensive and not energy-dense. This limits their use in applications requiring compact, high-capacity storage. They’re also complex to manufacture, which is the main reason for their high cost. A Norwegian […]
5 Insect-Based Protein Startups leading the industry in 2026
As the demand for cleaner and eco-friendly food increases, the food industry faces a significant challenge in meeting the growing global demand for protein. Traditional protein sources, such as meat and dairy, are resource-intensive, requiring large amounts of water, land, and feed to produce. Additionally, these traditional protein sources contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. […]
This Space Age Material Saves EVs by Containing Battery Fires Within the Cell
Electric vehicles and their batteries pose a significant safety risk due to their potential to catch fire spontaneously. Current battery technologies lack adequate fire protection, which can lead to devastating consequences. When lithium-ion batteries ignite, they are nearly impossible to extinguish, potentially causing extensive damage to vehicles and infrastructure, endangering human lives. To solve this, […]
Genetically modified plants can produce drugs at much lower cost than Big Pharma.
Conventional cell culture methods are costly and inefficient, creating barriers to developing life-saving medications. Baiya PhytoPharm addresses these challenges by transforming plants into living “pharmaceutical factories.“ By genetically modifying plants to produce complex medical molecules, they’ve created a platform to develop treatments faster, cheaply, and with greater flexibility. Their approach allows for more efficient production […]
This technology helps researchers fight the deadliest aspect of cancer!
Cancer remains one of the most formidable health challenges worldwide, claiming millions of lives each year. 90% of these deaths are the result of the spreading and growth of cancer cells in other parts of the body. This process is called Metastasis. Almost no approach exists to prevent or slow down the process of metastasis, […]
Can microplastics help detect bacteria in your food? This startup made it possible.
Current pathogen testing methods can take up to 7 days to yield results. This delay leads to production halts in the food and pharma industries with strict quality control requirements. The delay is mainly due to complex sample preparation and the inability to detect contaminants in real-time. In response, a startup named FluiDect has developed […]
Here’s How Kestrix’s Drone Tech is Helping Save Energy Across Europe
Today, roughly 75% of the EU building stock is energy inefficient, wasting a significant portion of the total consumption. Renovating existing buildings can reduce the EU’s energy consumption and minimize losses. Yet, on average, less than 1% of the national building stock is renovated yearly. The biggest hurdle here is a critical information gap. Relevant […]
Cocoa-Free Chocolate Is Out Of R&D Labs And Ready To Fool Your Taste Buds
Cocoa is at a breaking point. Climate change, crop diseases like the black pod, and supply chain instability have driven cocoa prices to an all-time high of $12,906 per metric ton. At the same time, aging cocoa trees, concerns about forced labor, and looming regulations such as the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) are reshaping sourcing […]
10 Innovative Eco Friendly Food Packaging Manufacturers
In a survey by CGS of 1000 U.S consumers, almost half (47%) said they would pay 25% more for sustainable products. The sustainable food packaging market is expanding as consumers become more aware of the dangers of using plastic for food packaging. Sustainable product sales in the U.S. have grown nearly 20% in the last […]
How Birch Barks Are Slashing Rubber Production Emissions by 90%
Conventional rubber production for tires relies heavily on synthetic rubber, primarily petroleum-based. It’s one of the largest sources of carbon emissions within the automotive sector. Reselo has stepped up to solve this challenge by creating a rubber alternative using birch bark. The startup can extract a compound called suberin from birch bark that can be […]
Make your company EUDR compliant and save forests with this nut
The European Union’s Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) requires companies to ensure their commodities—like palm oil, cocoa butter, and shea butter—are free from links to deforestation. However, traditional shea butter production methods rely heavily on firewood, leading to deforestation. This puts brands at risk of non-compliance. Set to take effect in 2025, food and cosmetics brands face […]
Dominating a $35 billion polyols market with sewage sludge – Ecorbio found a way do it!
The chemical industry faces a pressing global challenge—reducing its reliance on fossil fuels as feedstocks. About 13% of global fossil fuel production (~30 EJ) is used for non-energy purposes, with two-thirds allocated to the chemical sector. This dependency results in around 1 GtCO₂ emissions annually, making the industry one of the hardest to decarbonize. A […]
Ex-IBM leader turns brewery waste into sustainable egg white protein alternative
Replicating the unique functionality of egg whites, like foaming, binding, and gelling, has long been a critical challenge for the alternative protein industry. Their traditional production comes with steep trade-offs, requiring large amounts of water, land, and feed for chickens, and have Carbon emissions ~2,600 kg CO2-eq per cycle, with chicken feed contributing the majority. […]
This 3000x sweeter than sugar protein secured US regulatory approval
Reducing sugar in food without sacrificing taste has been one of the toughest challenges for the food industry. Many sugar alternatives either don’t taste the same or fail to work well in recipes. With over 74% of packaged foods containing added sugars, the global sugar reduction efforts have intensified. Yet, natural sweeteners like stevia and […]
