Alex, Daria, and Caroline co-founded Alga Biosciences to reduce greenhouse gas emissions using one of the most scalable resources on the planet: algae. They chemically modify kelp to create a feed additive for cattle that stops them from producing methane. This makes the cow more efficient, saving the farmer 20% on feed costs while also reducing livestock emissions by 90%. After receiving a grant from 1000 Gretas, Alex, Daria, and Caroline continued to develop their idea and were recently selected by the prestigious startup accelerator, Y-combinator as part of its 2022 class.

"By recognizing our interconnectedness with nature and embracing circular practices, we can not only mitigate the negative impacts of the food system on our planet but also create a more sustainable food system that nourishes both people and the earth. "

SFS was born out of the idea that each community can be empowered to be self-sustaining and grow to a level where they can provide for others and not just themselves while healing their ecosystems with the right professional expertise. Land conversion for agriculture is one of Malawi's most significant drivers of deforestation. Being an agro-based economy with 85% of the population relying on agriculture, the problem only intensifies. Market pressures force farmers in Malawi to intensify agriculture and focus on short-term investment returns, leading to land degradation. With degraded soils, farmers are forced to supplement their farming income through over-exploitation of natural resources, adversely affecting the environment, reducing their productivity, and consequently affecting their livelihoods. What we picture for the future as SFS starts with us impacting one community at a time towards small, consistent incremental changes that will lead small-holder farming communities in Sub-Saharan Africa to self-sustaining ones that are restoring their landscapes, maintaining them, and producing off of the landscapes in a way that does not adversely undo or undermine the ecosystems that they vastly depend on.

DirtSat looks at ways space resources can have profound impacts on some of our planet's biggest challenges. We are decarbonizing commercial buildings with an IoT-enabled network of urban rooftop farms, reframing urban food production pathways and climate resilience impacts for smart cities.

This group of women entrepreneurs and investors finds and promotes great women-led climate startups. Inspiration for ClimateRaise came when investors told them that they “couldn’t find any women entrepreneurs” and the ClimateRaise co-founders immediately came back with an initial list of 80 women. That idea turned into the ClimateRaise newsletter where they provide an ongoing list of vetted women-led companies open to investment opportunities. Now they work to curate their list of women entrepreneurs, promote them, and also to provide introductions that can bring these startups to life.

ReKaivery is creating carbon-neutral food hubs inside renovated, solar powered shipping containers. The food hubs bring the benefits of farmers markets' with the convenience of a grocery store. ReKaivery's kickstarter was a smashing success. 137 backers and $21,217 raised in 38 days. That money will allow them to build their first food hub in Fort Collins. Our team was impressed with their well-researched, community-informed, systems approach to supporting local food systems. Sign up for their newsletter to stay involved.

Latimer Controls is a software-based solution that gives large solar power producers the control ability to ramp up and down their power production while mitigating the unpredictability of changing cloud coverage. Having the ability to mimic coal and natural gas plants by ramping reliable generation on command, with or without battery storage technology, is the one of the final stages of developing a 100% renewable power grid. This will result in clean electricity from our power grid and a huge reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

Kakembo's WEYE produces charcoal briquettes that emit less CO than traditional cooking fuels while also preventing the deforestation of Uganda's woodlands.

The future we envision is to reduce the carbon emissions cost of concrete and cement production by 2/3, with our company goal being to sequester 10M tons of carbon via graphene into concrete by 2030.

I foresee a clean environment for the Gambian community, free of waste, reusing and recycling of valuable waste; and sustainable income streams for youth. Existence of sustainable farming methods by utilization and adaptation of organic compost as opposed to chemical fertilizers which are harmful to the farmers (especially women) and the consumers.

In a world where there is a constant demand for energy, food security and the need to stay healthy, prioritizing sustainable action becomes inevitable in achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

At Clean Earth Rovers we have this call to action of "creating a better future for generations to come" I think at a large scale this means creating cleaner healthier waterways that can continue to be powerhouse sources of Carbon absorbers. With marine debris and Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) much of the ocean's ability to house healthy ecosystems is at stake. With our technology we envision clean water free of human waste, both litter and runoff. We also envision booming ecosystems restored to their health benefiting fisheries, biodiversity, and the oceans ability to help us in carbon caption.

Ribbit Network is a non-profit organization creating the world's largest dataset of real-time greenhouse gas (GHG) observations. Our open-source, low-cost, CO2 sensors upload their observation data to the cloud in real-time. Anyone can access that data and make informed decisions on their climate actions. These observations will allow people everywhere to monitor CO2 concentrations, locate emission sources, and hold corporate, government, and individuals accountable for their efforts to reduce GHG emissions.
