Our favorite niche topics lately:
Baseload Geothermal - Horizontal solutions beyond project development. Think advanced drilling tech and modular heat extraction that works anywhere.
Critical Materials & Mining - Novel extraction and separation methods for rare earths and critical minerals.
Energy Infrastructure - Power electronics, transformer innovation, supercapacitors, undergrounding, re-conductoring. The hardware that makes renewable integration actually work.
Industrial Circularity - Solutions for turning waste streams into valuable inputs. Commodity metals recovery, mining tailings, advanced plastics recycling at scale.
Advanced Manufacturing - AI meets hardware. Machine learning transforming how we design, manufacture, and scale physical solutions for energy transition.
