Metasorbex Corporation develops programmable sorbent materials and catalysts that capture industrial carbon dioxide, convert it into useful products, and separate rare earth elements from difficult secondary resources. Founded on a 2020 insight that scalable climate and materials solutions would come from controlling molecular interactions, the company applies one materials platform to both carbon utilization and modular rare-earth recovery. Founder and CEO Edward Chan brings experience commercializing advanced materials at Fortune 500 companies and startups.
CarbonQuestCarbonQuest is a cleantech company built around decarbonizing the built environment, with a leadership team whose experience includes energy software, smart-grid technology, and carbon capture. It began piloting its modular systems in 2021 at a Manhattan residential building, where the installation demonstrated that emissions reduction could fit into space equivalent to three parking spaces. Today, CarbonQuest works with commercial and industrial facilities to capture CO₂ at the source and turn it into a usable or removable material.
SharpPulse CorpSharpPulse Corp is developing patented, electric-energy methods to recycle critical minerals and rare earth elements without carbon emissions or pollution. Founded by scientists and business executives focused on climate change, the company describes its approach as “Recycling 2.0” for advanced materials, addressing the energy use and toxic pollutants associated with conventional recycling.NEW YORK, NY
Turnover LabsFounded in 2022 by chemical engineer Marissa Beatty, New York City-based Turnover Labs builds durable electrolysis systems that convert industrial waste CO2 into chemical building blocks. Its technology is designed to install within existing chemical-plant operations, giving manufacturers a way to reuse impure emissions rather than rely solely on petroleum feedstocks. The early-stage company is developing its platform from laboratory research pioneered at Columbia University toward industrial-scale deployment.
Dimensional EnergyFounded in Ithaca in 2016, Dimensional Energy licenses catalyst and process technology that turns captured carbon and other waste feedstocks into low-carbon fuels and chemical products. Its DEFT Fischer–Tropsch and reverse water-gas shift technologies are backed by operating data from a Tucson pilot plant and an industrial CO₂ demonstration at a British Columbia cement plant, with support spanning project development through operations. The company also has four issued patents and 12 pending.ITHACA, NY
