Extellis designs and plans to operate satellites built to capture high-frequency synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery, with the company claiming each satellite can capture thousands of images per day using patented antenna technology developed at Duke University from DARPA-sponsored research. The platform is intended to provide consistent monitoring that works at night and through clouds, smoke and other conditions that limit optical imagery. Extellis targets infrastructure operators and industrial companies—such as pipeline, transportation and energy facility operators—that need frequent, wide-area visibility of distributed assets. The company is preparing a pathfinder mission to test technology and operating capabilities ahead of broader commercial service and is building the infrastructure required to serve industrial customers. Extellis recently expanded its seed financing with investment from Shell Ventures to support the pathfinder mission, team expansion and progress toward commercial operations. The company positions its offering as an alternative to helicopters, ground inspections and optical satellite imagery for more dependable, high-frequency monitoring.

LanzaJet develops and licenses patented ethanol-based alcohol-to-jet (ATJ) technology to create sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel. Its flagship Freedom Pines Fuels plant in Soperton, Georgia is the world’s first fully integrated, commercial-scale ethanol-to-fuels facility and, in late 2025, produced ASTM on-spec jet fuel, marking the first commercial-scale SAF made from ethanol. The company’s technology offers a non-oil-based, scalable solution compatible with today’s aircraft, positioning it to accelerate decarbonization in aviation. LanzaJet is also advancing Project Speedbird, a major SAF biorefinery planned for Teesside in the United Kingdom, aided by a grant from the UK Department for Transport’s Advanced Fuels Fund. An innovative multi-year tolling structure at Freedom Pines secures waste-based ethanol feedstock and guarantees offtake for all production. Financially, the firm has attracted backing from strategic investors such as Airbus, All Nippon Airways, Breakthrough Energy, IAG, Shell, and Microsoft’s Climate Innovation Fund. The latest capital raise values the company at $650 million pre-money and supports further commercial deployments of its ATJ technology.

Founded in 2017 in Barcelona, WtEnergy (Waste to Energy Advanced Solutions) has created a proprietary atmospheric gasification technology that transforms solid industrial waste and biomass into synthesis gas. Its modular 5–50 MW plants can be installed on-site at cement, paper, rendering, chemical and ceramic facilities, allowing customers to cut energy costs, lower CO₂ emissions and divert waste from landfills or incineration. The syngas produced can directly replace fossil fuels in thermal and power applications or be upgraded into hydrogen, methanol and sustainable aviation fuel. WtEnergy operates and develops the plants itself, positioning the company as both technology provider and project operator. The firm is now standardising its plant designs, broadening syngas applications and scaling across Europe. Previous industry traction includes a €4.4 million EU grant awarded in 2023 for a waste-to-fuel project with Cemex. While no revenue figures were disclosed, the company cites multiple projects already operating or in advanced development.
