Dear Friends of Greentown Labs,

Fourteen startups joined our community in the third quarter of 2022, working on innovations as diverse as a carbontech solution for aluminum manufacturing, an AI platform for tracking scope 1 and scope 3 vehicle emissions, and a waste-biomass-turned-biochar replacement for cement. Read our Q3 new member roundup here!

These startups join a community of more than 200 members working to decarbonize the key greenhouse-gas-emitting sectors and build resilient communities. Curious what these members are up to? Check out Ebb Carbon, which not only restores oceans’ carbon capture capabilities, but actually speeds up the process to happen in a fraction of the time, and Elemental Recycling, which recycles all plastics and tires to create high-purity graphene, graphite, and hydrogen in a process that’s CO2 equivalent neutral.

This fall is chock-full of opportunities to meet these startups and other Greentown members, from Greentown Go program kickoffs and final showcases to our biggest event of the year, Climatetech Summit! Read more below, or check out our events calendar to see the fall lineup.

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
