Zurich-based Grensol is paving the way to Net Zero by repurposing mixed waste bound for incinerators or landfills. Our solution empowers recyclers to enhance material recovery, reduce CO2 emissions, and eliminate disposal costs. Using advanced photochemical processes and fluid dynamics, Grensol transforms non-recyclable waste into valuable metals, minerals, hydrogen, and carbon materials. Our first plant in Biberist fosters sustainability and a circular economy for Switzerland and beyond.

DEC Energy

DEC Energy provides European corporates and mid-sized companies with a platform to make green energy consumption cheaper by up to 20% by renting solar plants located around Europe to grant a self-generation of Guarantees of Origin while earning money. On the other hand, solar plant owners (utilities and Independent Power Producers) can list and offer their assets to immediately receive up to 70% of their equity back, unlocking the capital needed to accelerate their asset portfolio growth

Cowa Thermal Solutions

Cowa Thermal Solutions AG develops next-generation thermal heat storage using Phase Change Material (PCM) based on salt-hydrates. The certified Cowa COMPACT Cell stores heat efficiently by absorbing energy during melting and releasing it during solidification. Thanks to PCM’s high energy density, it offers the same capacity as conventional water tanks in just one-fifth of the space. Designed for heat pumps and PV systems, it features a hygienic flow-through design with less stagnant water.

Borobotics AG

Borobotics is developing a new generation of geothermal drill for use in urban areas. Our robots can drill cheaply in confined spaces (<8m2), with low noise & CO2 emissions. The aim is to make geothermal energy more accessible and cost-effective and thus bring it to the mass market. As a spin-off of the ZHAW, we are located in the Technopark Winterthur and employ 10 people there. Currently, we are in the development phase and are carrying out drilling tests with our 2nd prototype.

Batterylog

Unlock the full value of your Batteries! Batterylog provides algorithms to optimize revenue and health of your batteries. A battery managed by Batterylog participates on the energy market and optimizes at the same time own consumption over virtual group of buildings like vZEV or LEG. For our customers, this allows an amortization during the warranty period while the battery is operated in a way that ensures a long battery life.

Alligator

Around 30% of CO₂ road emissions come from heavy-duty vehicles, with the largest share caused by tractor-trailer units. While these tractors are being electrified, trailers remain a large, untapped energy source. Alligator AG holds the key technology to integrate trailers into high-voltage energy networks and to relocate batteries onto them. This will allow trailers in the future to be loaded not only with goods but also charged with energy at the loading dock.
