British Consulate Climate Tech Reception at VERGE24
Join Consul General Tammy Sandhu at the San Jose Marriott, Third Floor Pool Terrace - in welcoming our delegation of British climate tech startups to VERGE24.
Carbon Re has developed a technology specially developed for energy-intensive process manufacturing. It leverages the immense potential of artificial intelligence to uncover energy efficiencies and reduce costs and carbon emissions in industrial processes.
The Yottar Connect platform helps developers to identify where to connect assets to electricity networks. Yottar are building a digital twin of the electricity system and applying AI on top to help energy asset or construction developers to understand where there is spare capacity on the electricity networks and optimise CapEx decision making on the siting and design of assets.
Gentian’s software uses high-resolution satellite imagery (<50 cm resolution) and AI to quickly and accurately map habitats for a fraction of the cost of typical surveys. Their cutting-edge technology can quantify biodiversity in line with global disclosure metrics.
Kestrix maps how heat escapes from buildings – for energy efficiency retrofit planning, pricing and verification at city-scale. With Kestrix RaThPAs AI technology, estimate kWh/m2/yr. of every home, and rapidly prioritises which buildings need retrofit attention.
Verna uses geospatial data science to address the climate and nature crises. They help landowners, investors, and policymakers to use land in ways that draw down carbon, enhance biodiversity and generate sustainable returns – e.g. through woodland creation, habitat creation and enhancement, and regenerative agriculture. Using the latest data science techniques and the power of cloud computing, their tools identify the best answers to crucial questions – like how to use land, what land to buy, or which landowners to engage with.
Polaron is a material design tool that takes microstructural image data and trains bespoke AI models to rapidly improve performance. They envision a future where AI not only enhances the discovery and design process but also helps create materials that are crucial for building greener infrastructure, reducing waste, and supporting the transition to renewable energy.
Verv’s high-resolution predictive maintenance technology detects anomalies in how an air conditioning unit or heat pump is performing. Verv uses AI algorithms to show energy insights into the performance of the unit, how efficiently it is running and where and how energy and carbon reductions can be made. Using real-time monitoring and eGenius technology, Verv can also identify signs of component fatigue and locate faults that are occurring or are about to occur, in the utmost detail.
Harrier: Established in 2022 in response to an ever growing disconnect between raw data and meaningful information, Harrier is a unique land tech solution and forecasting tool for integrating data, science and innovation for better use of land. Its priority is to make complex land data intuitive and understandable by converting it into meaningful strategic information on an open-source base map. It bridges the divide between landowners and the demand for carbon and other emerging natural capital and ecosystem markets.
Space4Climate is a not-for-profit membership organisation chaired by the UK Space Agency and hosted by the National Centre for Earth observation at the University of Reading for the UK Satellite Earth observation climate community. Space4Climate has supported the creation of a thriving environment to grow the use of Earth observation expertise for the production of trusted climate services to monitor and address climate change.
Brilliant Planet uses cultivated algae to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. In the process of cultivation, the vast amounts of seat water used becomes deacidified and on return to the oceans strengthens the local coastal ecosystem.
CCm Technology manufacture a new generation of sustainable low carbon fertilisers, transforming recycled organic waste streams stabilised using carbon dioxide into pelletised fertilisers.
Deep Planet is an Agritech startup that originated from Oxford University. They specialise in using AI and satellite data to enhance sustainable agriculture. Deep Planet's technology helps farmers make data driven decisions to manage vineyard health, predict yields and adapt to climate change without the need for physical sensors.
4EI Ltd is a leading provider of innovative climate and environment products and Earth observation analysis services. With headquarters in the UK but operating across the world to transform the way global organisations obtain value through space assets to create climate analytics intelligence supporting sustainable decisions for the betterment of their business, humans and the planet.
