We are proud to recognize #XPRIZECarbonRemoval teams The Alaska Future Ecology Institute, Metalplant, and Gigablue with an “X-Factor Award.” Judges recognized these teams’ solutions for having the potential for significant carbon dioxide removal impact. ➡️ “Alaska Future Ecology team’s approach offers a win-win scenario for both carbon storage and biodiversity. By rewilding with large mammals that were historically present in Alaska, this project aims to restore ecosystem integrity, which in turn enhances carbon storage and sequestration at scale and sustainably.” - Lola Fatoyinbo, Ph.D., XPRIZE Judge ➡️ “What I love about Metalplant’s approach is the combination of two processes that are relevant to our energy transition–carbon storage and critical mineral recovery–into one process. This innovative approach is a perfect example of how to integrate technologies to solve problems.”  - Dr. Peter Psarras, XPRIZE Judge  ➡️ “We were enormously impressed by GigaBlue’s in-depth understanding of the physical, chemical, and biological oceanographic factors that impact the effectiveness and impact of their technology. We are very excited to track this team’s progress as they continue to develop this potentially game-changing technology.” - Dr. CHRISTOPHER VERLINDEN, XPRIZE Judge Learn more about how these teams are helping to tackle the climate crisis in our blog here. https://lnkd.in/gjWSeejz

Who knew saving an endangered species could taste so good? Congratulations to Moria Shimoni Roee Nir and the Forsea team on today’s fantastic tasting of their cultivated eel and sea bream with Chef Yuval Ben Neriah at “a”. Beautiful event. Fascinating tech. Honored to be part of your journey to scale sustainable seafood for healthier seas and planet. Much success ahead. 🐠🇮🇱🍣🇯🇵

I love my work. Today I had the chance to taste the first ever 𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐢 dish. Forsea, a company that was established in The Kitchen Hub had brought their cultivated eel product to a leading Asian restaurant and together with chef Yuval Ben Neriah created a phenomenal unagi dish (as well as cultivated sea-bream fishcakes). A giant step forward towards healthier oceans and plant. Great work Roee Nir, Moria Shimoni, Itay, Nicolás Moreno Hick and the entire team.

At risk of being cheesy, we 💛 these guys! Our portfolio company NewMoo emerges from stealth. Bringing bio-identical and non-animal caseins -- the critical ingredient that gives us stretchy, melty, delicious cheese -- to market for a healthier #climate and happier cows. 🌍 🐄

Climate tech investors are betting big on a new route to net zero. And Israel is fast becoming an important hub for making it happen. Any fossil fuel alternative has to be: ✅ Clean ✅ Sustainable ✅ Scalable Sustainable hydrogen can tick all three boxes. It’s particularly attractive because of its potential as a source of electricity. Now Israel’s sustainable hydrogen ecosystem is capturing growing interest from both domestic and international investors. Here’s why the country is so well placed to build the future of sustainable hydrogen, and the most exciting companies to watch: #NetZero #Hydrogen #ClimateTech #GreenEnergy #VC ZORA Ventures Vanessa Bartram Raanan Shelach Carbonade H2Pro GenCell Energy Electriq Global Maygia (Techstars '22) Fast Sense ICL Group BAZAN Group Oil Refineries Ltd Alon Gany
