Lydian has developed PIVOT™, a full‑stack, modular production platform that integrates proprietary reactors, catalysts, process design, software, and balance‑of‑plant into factory‑built modules for synthetic aviation fuel. The platform is designed to cut project capital costs by more than 50% versus competing technologies, operate flexibly with intermittent renewable electricity, and reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by up to 95%. Lydian produces ASTM‑approved, drop‑in sustainable aviation fuel from captured CO2 and hydrogen and is positioning PIVOT to enable faster, lower‑cost deployment of synthetic fuel projects. The company operates a tonne‑scale pilot plant at its Boston R&D Center of Excellence and plans a commercial demonstration facility targeted for 2028 with first full‑scale commercial deployment expected in 2030. Financially, the company completed a $43 million Series A to support commercialization and deployment activities.

CREW Carbon offers a process intensification solution for wastewater treatment that uses strategically-sourced alkaline minerals to optimize pH and alkalinity, improving biological performance, settleability, and plant capacity while permanently sequestering CO2. Since beginning commercial operations in 2024, CREW has deployed at nearly 10 facilities across the U.S. and Europe and secured long-term RFPs with utilities. The company has captured over 2,000 tons of CO2 and secured more than $33 million in carbon removal offtake agreements, delivering verified carbon removal credits to corporate buyers. CREW has developed proprietary measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) capabilities and is developing a scalable analytics platform to provide operational insights and process optimization. Financial and strategic support from the Series A will be used to scale deployments, expand customer engagements, and add key hires in wastewater process, technology, supply chain, and business development.

Cream Co. Meats partners exclusively with ranchers who raise animals without hormones or antibiotics, on vegetarian feed and regenerative pastures, with more than half of its beef supply certified regenerative. Drawing from hundreds of sustainable family farms and artisan producers, the company now serves over 300 customers throughout California and beyond, including large institutional accounts such as the University of California system, Google, and Shake Shack. Its mission is to demonstrate that animal protein can be produced responsibly, transparently, and profitably while strengthening the West Coast regional supply chain. The company is the only California meat processor to have secured a USDA Meat and Poultry Processing Expansion grant of more than $1.5 million, which supports its infrastructure build-out. Recent capital will be used to expand processing capacity and deepen its regenerative sourcing network. By scaling these operations, Cream Co. aims to make regional, regenerative meat the norm rather than the exception. Founded and led by CEO Cliff Pollard, the business positions itself as both a supply-chain innovator and a champion of rancher economics.

Coral Vita is a commercial coral reef restoration company that applies techniques such as microfragmentation and assisted evolution to improve coral survivability amid rising ocean temperatures. The company operates as a mission-driven for-profit, aiming to scale restoration without relying on traditional grants. Since 2015 Coral Vita has cultivated over 100,000 corals across 52 species in locations including the Bahamas, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, and has materially boosted local fish populations. In 2021 it was the inaugural winner of Prince William’s Earthshot Prize. Coral Vita recently raised over $8 million in a Series A to accelerate growth. The new funding will be used to expand operations, enhance research and development, and increase overall impact and reach. Leadership frames the work as proving the blue economy is investable, profitable, and impactful as they scale ecological infrastructure. Coral Vita builds land-based coral farms and associated science and engineering to accelerate coral growth and improve survivability. It employs techniques such as coral microfragmenting and controlled tank conditions and is launching R&D into 3D printing and robotics to harden corals for future ocean conditions. The company’s model shifts restoration from ocean nurseries to scalable land facilities that reduce per-coral costs (ocean nurseries cost about $30–$40 per coral; Coral Vita projects about $10 per coral at scale). Coral Vita seeks to diversify funding beyond grants by selling restoration services to customers that depend on reefs—hotels, coastal property owners, insurers, governments, development banks, and cruise lines—and by consumer programs like “adopt a coral.” The firm plans to launch additional farms in other countries over the next two years to establish a global presence and shorten lead times for delivering corals.

Phoenix Tailings is developing the Freedom Facility, a fully integrated rare earth separation and metallization platform intended to produce both light and heavy rare earth metals from concentrates, recycled materials, and secondary sources. The company plans the facility to act as a midstream processing hub that can purchase output from mines and recyclers and supply materials to manufacturers and government entities. The project will use domestically controlled technology and intellectual property and aims to deliver cleaner, more efficient operations than conventional refining methods. Phoenix Tailings has targeted initial operations at the Freedom Facility for 2028. Financially, the company announced an approximately $1 billion financing initiative that includes a conditional $500 million long-term debt commitment from the U.S. Department of War’s Office of Strategic Capital to support construction and scaling of the facility.
