Planboo’s impact is far-reaching both in binding carbon, improving soil health, and increasing farmers’ incomes. Their projects have been supported by tech giants such as Spotify, Klarna and Workday.
Re:Meat is Sweden’s first cultivated meat production company. Animal agriculture is the main reason the global food system emits one third of all green house gases. Re:meat addresses this by developing enabling technologies for cultivating meat, aiming to create a turnkey demo plant in collaboration with strategic industry players. Compared to meat substitutes, cultivated meat requires no consumer behaviour change. More importantly, they reduce their emissions by up to 92% compared to consumption of conventional meat.

Arbon Earth utilises the deep sea bed to bind carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Their solution of growing macro-algae on their oceanpods offshore, sinks to the deep ocean when fully grown with binded carbon dioxide. This is a natural process which Arbon Earth is able to scale up and measure. Their carbon dioxide removals are safe and efficient for clients that wish to fight climate change by offsetting their carbon emissions.
The ground breaking start-up LazeraH aims to change our energy consumption by turning hydrogen atomic mass to energy. The method of laser-induced hydrogen produces more nucelar energy than what is put into the equation. A small energy reactor with LazeraH's technology could provide clean, safe and cost efficient energy with the potential to be distributed to consumers.
Chanzi tackles urban waste management issues in East Africa where such infrastructures are insufficient. Inorganic waste streams such as plastics are recycled into raw materials whilst organic food waste is converted into nutritious protein for animal feed and fertilizer using black soldier fly larvae. The feed and fertiliser replace options that are known for inefficient land use and are harmful to the climate and environment. They are also cheaper and increase yields for arable and livestock farmers alike.
Zukunft Moor establishes large scale sphagnum moss farming to help reduce peat use in the soil industry which accounts for 7.5% of Germanys green house gas emissions. Drainage of peatlands has prevented them from natuarally storing and absorbing large amounts of carbon. Zukunft Moor aims to rewett the peatlands and grow spaghnum moss, the closest alternative to peat. This solution provides a new source of income to farmers, reduces green house gas emissions, and protect against drought and flooding.
