Tech Solutions Related To UN SDG 13: Climate Action

Ennuity Holdings is creating a brand new asset class that allows individuals to buy out their electric utility bill. Inspired by the guaranteed income profile of annuities and the recurring energy production provided by renewable power sources, we call these products ennuities.

Scoot was founded with the goal of making electric vehicles available to everyone as a way to reduce traffic, pollution and climate change. Scoot was the first company to make electric vehicles available to rent with an app, starting with a small fleet of electric Motos, or mopeds and expanding to fleets of thousands of electric vehicles, including motos, e-bikes and kick scooters.

Verdox is making scalable, cost-effective carbon capture and removal a reality. The company is commercializing its electroswing adsorption (ESA) platform technology, originally developed at MIT, to remove carbon dioxide from industrial emissions and the air with 70% energy savings versus conventional approaches.

In recent years, inspecting transmission grid assets at scale via aerial missions has become the norm for many electric utilities. But these methods cannot be easily applied to the distribution grid. Our fully integrated hardware and software solution, Inspector, enables electric utilities to reap the resiliency and safety benefits of at scale inspection - on the distribution grid.

Scepter observes atmospheric data in the vertical air column and transforms it into actionable products and services. Scepter ingests sensor data on platforms located from terrestrial to airborne to satellite sources. It then aggregates that data, fuses it with other datasets, analyses that data and then presents the information to the user.

OpenAQ is a non-profit that fights air inequality through open data, open-source tools, and a global, grassroots community. The OpenAQ Community harmonizes disparate air quality data from across the world so that citizens and organizations can fight air inequality more efficiently.

MeterLeader allows cities, companies, brands, non-profits, schools, and social media influencers to create customizable energy saving challenges. Our challenges motivate people to save energy and are integrated with real-time electricity data.

Therma° combats climate change by reducing the carbon footprint of the global refrigeration system by addressing food waste, energy use, and refrigerant leakage. Therma’s integrated suite of software, IoT sensors, and equipment controls optimize refrigeration to reduce electricity usage and prevent catastrophic food loss.

LanzaTech’s carbon recycling technology is like retrofitting a brewery onto an emission source like a steel mill or a landfill site, but instead of using sugars and yeast to make beer, pollution is converted by bacteria to fuels and chemicals! Imagine a day when your plane is powered by recycled GHG emissions, when your shampoo bottle started life as emissions from a steel mill.

JustAir provides local air pollution monitoring solutions to cities to bring greater transparency into the disparities of air quality among our communities. With proper visibility from our neighborhood-level air quality monitors, local leaders can more accurately identify sources of pollutants and thus develop data-driven solutions in order to protect the breathing environment for communities.
