Dear Friends of Greentown Labs,

Cement is ubiquitous in our world, from our buildings, to our bridges, to our roads. Factor in that cement is responsible for eight percent of global CO2 emissions, and it becomes clear that decarbonizing this material is a critical step in decarbonizing the global economy.

But no single solution for zero-carbon cement exists other than post-combustion carbon capture—until our member Sublime Systems.

Sublime’s technology is on track to reduce 90 percent of cement’s CO2 emissions, a feat that could fundamentally shape the future of the manufacturing industry.

Sublime is just one of more than 200 startups in our community, each of which is developing groundbreaking solutions to decarbonize the global economy and build resilient communities. There’s Ivys Energy Solutions, a provider of hydrogen refueling stations for fleet applications, and Daniel Consulting Group, a battery technology consulting firm focused on all aspects of battery testing and development—both of which you can read about in this spotlight on how we work with startups to promote safety and support their prototyping.

Interested in agtech? This summer’s Sector Pitch Day highlighted our agriculture startups, including Lignium Energy, which transforms cow manure into combustion pellets, and Gaia AI, which collects high-quality biomass data in forests, helping landowners, project developers, and investors understand the carbon stock and timber content of their land. Learn about these members and others in the event recap.

We work with these startups day in and day out, so we know how incredible they are—and we want to introduce them to you. This fall is chock-full of opportunities to meet, engage with, and support our startups, whether you’re an investor, corporate executive, or job seeker. Check out our events lineup below, or visit our events page!

As always, please don't hesitate to reach out if you want to get involved with or support our community. Thank you for your commitment to climate action!

Warmly,
The Greentown Labs Team
