Carbon to Value Initiative Year 4 Kickoff
September 19, 2024 @ 5:30 pm – 8:00 pm Central
Join us virtually or at Greentown Houston on Thursday, September 19 to celebrate the kickoff of Year 4 of the Carbon to Value Initiative!
Register for EventAfter a thorough evaluation of all of this year’s 120+ applications for Year 4 of the C2V Initiative, we’re thrilled to present the Year 4 Cohort, representing a wide variety of promising carbontech innovations to capture and convert CO2 into valuable products and services!
The Carbon to Value (C2V) Initiative is a multi-year collaboration between The Urban Future Lab (UFL), Greentown Labs, and Fraunhofer USA.
This 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.
Four 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.
Year 4 of the C2V Initiative builds on its first three successful years, which saw nearly 400 applications and supported 26 selected startups, including companies like AIR COMPANY, Carbfix, Carbon Upcycling, CarbonFree, Cemvita, Dioxycle, Lydian, Mars Materials, Planetary, and more.
