Oort Energy is a UK-based maker of next-generation proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers that produce green hydrogen from water and renewable electricity. Founded by industry veterans, the company says it has reinvented the electrolyser stack from first principles, combining material innovations with a scalable manufacturing architecture to lower production costs and improve efficiency and durability. Oort has a patented PEM electrolyser technology and has completed the design of a 250 kW platform while preparing for serial manufacturing. The company plans commercial 250 kW and 1 MW systems in 2023 and is due to commission its first fully compliant containerised demonstrator at a customer site in Q3 2023. Financially, Oort closed an oversubscribed £5.0 million seed round and has also received about £800,000 in non-dilutive grants from UK and EU bodies. Proceeds are earmarked to establish a manufacturing plant, deliver the first demonstrator, and scale supply chain and large‑scale manufacturing.

Type One Energy is a fusion power startup focused on building stellarator-style magnetic confinement reactors capable of delivering gigawatt-scale, emissions-free electricity. Rather than owning and operating power plants itself, the company plans to sell key reactor technology to electric utilities and power providers. Its first commercial project, dubbed Infinity Two, is slated for the former Bull Run coal site under a deal with the Tennessee Valley Authority and is expected to produce about 350 MW of power in the mid-2030s. The approach promises the advantages of fusion—no long-lived radioactive waste and no meltdown risk—while meeting the surging demand from data centers and economy-wide electrification. Type One has attracted more than $160 million in venture funding to date, including support from Bill Gates’s Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Doral Energy Tech Ventures and TDK Ventures. The company recently secured an $87 million convertible note and is marketing a $250 million Series B at a $900 million pre-money valuation to accelerate reactor development and commercial deployment.

Green Li-ion develops a patented battery rejuvenation process that fully remanufactures spent lithium‑ion batteries and recovers valuable cathode materials. The technology was initially developed at its Geelong technology centre and has been scaled to six operational facilities globally. The company holds 87 patents underpinning its process, which it says delivers up to a 90% reduction in carbon emissions compared to traditional mining. Management intends to use the recent funding to accelerate scale‑up of the rejuvenation technology. Green Li-ion is positioned to help reshore refined cathode material production to North America and is on track to become the largest domestic producer of these materials in the U.S. The company frames its innovation as a core enabler of decarbonisation and the growing urban‑mining industry. Green Li-ion develops and licenses large, "small-house"-sized machines that recycle lithium-ion batteries and output precursor cathode active material for new batteries. The company says its process can handle "100% of all used lithium batteries." It licenses its technology to battery makers and recyclers, including Aleon and TES. Green Li-ion does not operate recycling itself; it focuses on manufacturing and licensing equipment. The startup plans to produce about 50 recycling units per year from two factories — one in Houston and another in Singapore. After three years the company has attracted investment activity and a post-money valuation of $187 million following its latest raise. Green Li-ion is a Singapore-based green tech startup that specialises in battery recycling technology. The company develops recycling solutions for batteries.
