DISA develops and deploys its patented High-Pressure Slurry Ablation (HPSA) platform to liberate and recover critical minerals and remediate legacy uranium sites. The company has commissioned commercial-scale HPSA units at multiple global mining sites and reports more than 100 abandoned uranium mine sites under contract for remediation. In September 2025 DISA received a first-of-its-kind NRC license that enables remediation of AUM sites across the United States. The company plans to begin remediation projects later in 2026, including projects on the Navajo Nation and at a federal site covered by its NRC license. DISA says the technology is designed to offer faster, cleaner, and more efficient mineral liberation and recovery. Founded in 2018, DISA is based in Casper, Wyoming, with a satellite office in Westminster, Colorado.

Rodatherm Energy is tackling enhanced geothermal power with a closed-loop system that circulates refrigerant through steel pipes instead of water, a design it says boosts heat-transfer efficiency by 50% and cuts water use. The sealed loop also eliminates the need for filters that open-loop water systems require to deal with grit and debris. Fresh from emerging out of stealth, the company has secured $38 million in Series A funding to drill and commission a 1.8-megawatt pilot plant in Utah, which it plans to complete by the end of 2026. Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems has agreed to purchase electricity from that pilot project. If the demonstration proves cost-competitive, Rodatherm intends to scale to larger commercial installations and compete with peers such as Fervo Energy, Sage Geosystems, XGS Energy and Quaise. The Series A is the first publicly disclosed capital for the company and will cover drilling, loop installation and system testing as it works to validate its economic model.

Zero Industrial is a development company focused on decarbonizing industrial heat by deploying commercially available thermal energy storage (TES) systems at industrial facilities. The company provides full project development services including technology selection, project design, and engineering for each TES system. Zero Industrial will fully finance projects and sell clean heat or steam to customers under long-term Heat-as-a-Service contracts without requiring upfront capital from the industrial facility. Founded in 2024 and based in Charleston, S.C., the company is actively originating and developing projects in the United States and Canada and is exploring additional international markets. Management plans to accelerate deployment of TES projects in North America to shift curtailed or off-peak clean electricity into baseload heat and steam, reducing energy costs and emissions. The company recently closed a $10 million financing to support project development and deployment.

Planetary develops technology that accelerates the ocean’s ability to remove atmospheric carbon dioxide by safely boosting the planet’s largest natural carbon removal mechanism, the geologic carbon cycle. The company partners with leading scientific institutions, regulators, and coastal communities to ensure its methods meet rigorous environmental and social standards. Its approach centers on deploying alkalinity-enhancing interventions in marine environments to increase CO₂ uptake, though detailed technical specifications were not provided in the article. Current pilot projects are generating data on effectiveness and ecological impact, positioning Planetary to refine and scale its solution. The newly secured funding will be used to deepen research and development, expand pilot installations, and grow the firm’s operational footprint. Financially, Planetary has raised a $7.5 million seed round; no additional revenue, user, or prior funding figures were disclosed.
