Ten carbontech startups will present their latest industrial deployments at the fifth annual Carbon to Value Initiative Final Showcase in New York City on June 3. The event focuses on the transition from lab testing to economic scaling for carbon removal technologies. Featured companies include Arbon, Mission Zero Technologies, Sora Fuel, and Universal Matter. These firms are developing solutions ranging from humidity-swing capture and sustainable aviation fuels to the production of graphene from industrial waste.

C2V is a decent pipeline for early stage stuff. Interesting to see the mix here, especially the shift toward turning captured carbon into actual products rather than just pumping it underground.

The tech sounds fine, but I want to see the energy requirements for these DAC systems. If they are scaling to industrial levels, where is the power coming from and how does it hit the local grid?

The move toward carbon-based manufacturing changes the accounting. It is one thing to remove CO2, but if it ends up in a product that degrades quickly, the permanent removal claim gets shaky.

Universal Matter using Flash Joule Heating for graphene is the most concrete part of this. I am curious about the actual cost per ton of waste processed compared to traditional methods.
