SUMMARY:Carbon to Value Initiative Year 3 Kickoff
DESCRIPTION:Mark your calendars—May 24 we celebrate the Year 3 startup finalists!\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets on Eventbrite\n\nRegister Now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us virtually or at Greentown Boston on Wednesday\, May 24 to celebrate the kickoff of Year 3 of the Carbon to Value Initiative! \n\n\n\nThe Carbon to Value (C2V) Initiative is a multi-year collaboration between The Urban Future Lab (UFL)\, Greentown Labs\, Fraunhofer USA\, and NYSERDA. \n\n\n\nThis unique partnership is driving the creation of a thriving innovation ecosystem for the commercialization of carbontech—technologies that capture\, convert and store carbon dioxide (CO₂) into valuable end products or services. The C2V Initiative is supported by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). \n\n\n\nThree years ago the Carbon to Value Initiative was formed as a way to unlock a new carbontech economy and bring innovative solutions to scale\, all while building a collaborative new ecosystem. This year marks the C2V Initiative’s third year and we’ve received a record breaking number of applications —161! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFollowing this kick-off event\, startups selected to participate in Year 3 of the Initiative will have the opportunity to work closely with the Carbontech Leadership Council\, an invitation-only group of executive leaders across diverse industry sectors driving the future of carbontech. Year 3 of the C2V Initiative builds on two successful years (Cohort 1; Cohort 2) that led to partnerships\, technology advancement\, and industry growth. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAt this event\, attendees will hear from industry experts and hear pitches from this year’s carbontech startup finalists. \n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\nTimes listed are in ET: \n\n\n\n5:30 PM – 6:00 PM Doors open\, refreshments* \n\n\n\n6:00 PM – 6:15 PM Welcome Remarks \n\n\n\n6:15 PM – 7:00 PM Startup Finalist Pitches  \n\n\n\n\nCapro-X: Biomass-based carbon capture and conversion (USA)\n\n\n\nCarbon to Stone: Carbon mineralization (USA)\n\n\n\nC-Quester: Point source carbon capture (USA)\n\n\n\nCapture6: Ocean CDR (USA)\n\n\n\nDioxycle: Carbon conversion to fuels and chemicals (France) \n\n\n\nenaDyne: Carbon conversion to fuels and chemicals (Germany)\n\n\n\nFairbrics: Carbon conversion to fuels and chemicals (France)\n\n\n\nGlobal Algae Innovations: Biomass-based carbon capture and conversion (USA)\n\n\n\nInPlanet: Enhancement Rock Weathering CDR (Germany)\n\n\n\nNULIFE GreenTech: Biomass-based carbon capture and conversion (Canada)\n\n\n\nSkytree: Direct Air Capture (Netherlands)\n\n\n\nTerraFixing: Direct Air Capture (Canada)\n\n\n\n\n7:00 PM – 8:00 PM Networking Reception* \n\n\n\n*in-person only \n\n\n\nAbout Greentown\n\n\n\nGreentown Labs is a community of climate action pioneers working to design a more sustainable world.
