The Carbon to Value Initiative (C2V Initiative), a unique partnership among the Urban Future Lab at NYU Tandon School of Engineering (UFL), Greentown Labs, and Fraunhofer USA, is welcoming applications for its fifth innovation cohort from startups seeking to rapidly commercialise and scale carbontech innovations.
The C2V Initiative is supported by members of the Carbontech Leadership Council (CLC), a dynamic group of executive leaders across diverse industry sectors driving the deployment of carbontech solutions. CO₂ Value Europe, represented by our Secretary General, Anastasios Perimenis, is a proud member of the CLC.
Program Benefits for Startups
Six-month accelerator with tailored programming to advance carbontech startups.
Collaboration and relationship-building with the C2V Initiative’s network of global corporate leaders.
Access to expert mentors and resources, including incubator membership at Greentown and/or UFL.
$10,000 stipend for each selected startup to support program participation.
More specifically, the program collaborators are interested in carbontech innovations related to the following categories:
Carbon Conversion to Added-value Products, including CO2to fuels (e.g. SAF/e-fuels), CO2 to chemicals (e.g. methanol and higher carbon products such as C4+), biomass-based and/or other waste-carbon to value (e.g. chemical recycling, gasification, biochar), and carbon mineralisation (e.g. to building products, carbonates, fertilisers).
Carbon Capture, including point-source capture (e.g. from energy and process emissions, hydrogen production, etc.), direct-air capture (DAC), and gas-separation technologies (e.g. purification, biogas upgrading).
Carbon Sequestration and Removal, including enhanced mineralisation and ocean alkalinisation, and nature-based solutions (e.g. soil, forest, ocean).
