OptimaBiome is a decarbonization company developing technology for transportation emissions. Its mobile carbon-capture approach uses a reusable solid matrix to capture CO2 from vehicle exhaust and move it toward storage, offering a bridge as transportation shifts toward net-zero operation.
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.
AircaptureAircapture designs and builds modular Direct Air Capture systems that produce beverage-grade carbon dioxide on customers’ sites, supplying it on demand from the atmosphere rather than through conventional long-distance distribution. Founded by technologist and DAC pioneer Matt Atwood, the company develops its systems in a 12,000-square-foot West Berkeley office and shop, where it focuses on rapid prototyping and in-house production. Its “CO2 as a Service” model is intended to give manufacturers a more local, reliable supply while reducing transportation-related emissions.
Westport Fuel Systems IncKnown for pioneering High Pressure Direct Injection technology, Westport Fuel Systems is a Vancouver-based clean-tech manufacturer serving hard-to-decarbonize commercial mobility. The company develops practical fuel systems for vehicle makers and fleets that need lower-emission transportation without giving up diesel-like performance.BRONX, NY
GlobalMRVFounded in 2010, GlobalMRV develops portable emissions measurement systems and data-capture solutions that let transportation, engineering, and research organizations test vehicle emissions in real-world driving conditions. Its compact Axion and Firefly systems support on-road and in-lab work, while the company also provides emissions verification, reporting, and compliance support. GlobalMRV’s Hardware as a Service model allows customers to rent equipment as well as purchase it, and the company says its teams have supported more than 100 vehicles and engines while saving clients over $5 million in traditional testing costs.BUFFALO, NY
