Startup members
ccloop is focusing on connecting startups that focus on technologies or products that will help to pave the way towards defossilised material streams.
Biosimo Chemicals
Biosimo aims to commercialize processes to produce bio-based platform chemicals from abundant renewable ethanol. Its core technology is based on the oxidation of bioethanol with the help of theheterogeneous catalyst in continuous flow. With Biosimo’s bio-based chemicals, everyday products like textiles, glues, and films can become greener without changing the design, supply chain, or market price.
Biosimo's technology drives defossilization by producing and supplying bio-based chemicals as substitutes for fossil-based chemicals, resulting in sustainable, scalable, and economically viable production of green chemicals at large scale.
b.fab
b.fab is developer and technology provider for the manufacturing and chemical industry. They offer technology licence for use of synthetic pathway in microbial hosts utilizing formic acid as sole carbon source. In the first process step they produce formic acid from CO2, water and renewable electricity. In the second process step they use the liquid feedstock formic acid as substrate in their bioprocess using formatotrophic strains. Synthetic biology is applied to design synthetic pathways and to direct the formic acid into the desired bioproduct such as feed/food proteins or biopolymers.
b.fab enables the utilization of CO₂ as a feedstock for the production of valuable bioproducts. b.fab’s technology helps mitigate CO₂ emissions but also promotes the development of a circular economy by repurposing a greenhouse gas into useful products, contributing to the overall goal of defossilization and combating climate change.
INOFEA
INOFEA has developed a proprietary technology that significantly enhances and protects immobilised enzymes through a highly customized layer of organosilanes. This groundbreaking approach has the potential to open biocatalytical routes to numerous synthetic processes previously seen as impossible or limited when utilizing traditional pure chemical methods. It is particularly notable for its applications in both the production of biologics (such as antibodies, ADCs and mRNA-based drugs) and small molecule active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
INOFEA’s technology plays a vital role in defossilization by replacing energy-intensive and chemical-demanding processes with more efficient enzymatic processes. Notably, INOFEA's technology allows the organosilanes shield on immobilized enzymes to mimic solvent hydrophobicity, allowing the switch from organic solvent chemistry to water-based chemistry.
Impossible Materials
Impossible Materials develops, produces and sells highly functional cellulose particles extracted from renewable resources to enable sustainable and safe products. Their first product is a white pigment that addresses the demand on titanium dioxide present in many consumer products (e.g. tooth phase or coatings) and currently manufactured by highly CO₂-intense processes.
Impossible Materials utilizes renewable resources and employs environmentally responsible processes, their technology reduces reliance on fossil fuels and mitigates the environmental impact associated with traditional materials.
ICODOS
ICODOS produces green methanol from CO₂ captured from unavoidable large scale CO₂ emitters (e.g. waste incineration plants) or directly from the atmosphere. Their main target is the production of defossilized fuels for marine vessels and the delivery of methanol as feedstock for the chemical industry. Its green methanol production technology is validated and ready for industrial scale-up.
In many industrial sectors, methanol produced from CO₂ is a viable non-fossil substitute for oil, gas and coal. The potential is enormous and may allow reduction of fossil-based CO₂ emissions in the giga ton range. While the demand for methanol is projected to surge in the coming years, currently less than 1% of global methanol production is sustainable and not derived from fossil reserves. ICODOS will change the status quo and fill the gap.
Carbonauten
Carbonauten thermally carbonize woody residues and various problem materials to granules marketed under the name of Tech BioC. Tech BioC is used by many industries for production of low-carbon materials for applications as diverse as construction, car manufacturing or production of consumer goods.
As the feedstock for production of Carbonauten’s Tech BioC is of biogenic nature, Tech BioC-based products are not originating from fossil carbon stock but from CO₂ captured from the air by plants. Hence, CO₂ released at the end Tech BioC based products is not added but just given back to the atmosphere. In case of long living and efficiently recycled products, CO₂ emissions can even be negative, i.e. allowing for a reduction of the CO₂ in the atmosphere.
Bloom Biorenewables
Bloom's unique technology efficiently converts wood or agricultural side streams into high-quality products, such as plastics, fragrances and fuels, while reducing CO₂ emissions by up to 96%. This allows for sustainable alternatives to fossil-based materials without compromising on quality and performance.
Bloom maximizes the usage of plant material with cutting-edge science to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and promoting a greener, circular and more sustainable future.
B’ZEOS
B'ZEOS have developed seaweed-based pellets for the industrial production of novel packaging solutions. Their plug & play solutions seamlessly integrate into existing manufacturing processes, enabling the creation of various eco-friendly packaging solutions including flexible films, rigid parts, thermoformables, and coatings for paper-based materials. Throughout the production process, B’ZEOS prioritize environmentally friendly methods and minimize energy consumption.
B’ZEOS stands out amongst competitors owing to their advanced technology, ability to scale, and competitive pricing. Through the repurposing of seaweed waste and invasive species, B’ZEOS actively mitigate the environmental footprint while simultaneously ensuring both cost-effectiveness and sustainability.
DePoly
DePoly’s chemical recycling innovation converts unsorted, dirty pre-/post-consumer and post-industrial PET plastics back into their main raw components without the need to pre-wash the feedstock or separate out other plastics and materials. Those virgin-quality monomers can then be used by industry to make new plastics, creating a truly circular plastic economy.
By diverting from the conventional method of sourcing PET plastics precursors, DePoly’s technology not only offers the solution to the global plastic waste problem but also significantly reduces the CO₂ emission that results from plastic production, lowering the carbon footprint by up to 65% (compared to virgin production from fossil fuels).
NeoCarbons
NeoCarbons' patented technology competitively recycles industrial loads of CO₂ into valuable bio-green chemicals, offering a groundbreaking approach to scope-3 defossilisation through continuous industrial production with microalgae.
NeoCarbons' technology was developed to provide a competitive solution to substitute fossils in the industrial value chains, especially scope-3. Their innovative technology facilitates the cost-effective production of renewable bio-green chemicals, meeting high demand with consistent quality, low footprint, high productivities and low cost, independent of weather or location. NeoCarbons transforms microalgae into a pivotal supply chain for alternative proteins and sustainable chemicals and ingredients for the foods, feeds, fine chemicals and chemicals industries, driving impactful scope-3 defossilisation.
