Renewing Waste

PK Clean is able to transform the most painful waste (plastic) into the most useful energy. PK Clean extracts oil and gas from plastics through a catalytic depolymerization process, which can be sold for industrial purposes.

Sanergy is making hygienic sanitation affordable, accessible, and sustainable. They franchise a network of their sanitation centers throughout slums and collect the waste from each center and convert it to electricity and fertilizer.

Solar

Invisergy has developed a cost-effective, transparent solar energy generating window that will revolutionize building sustainability.

STG International (previously operating as the Solar Turbine Group) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. They have developed a novel solar energy technology that is sized to provide electricity and hot water to off-grid clinics and schools.

Waves

Resolute Marine Energy is developing technologies that produce clean energy from ocean waves to power desalination systems. Their COO, Olivier Ceberio was recently awarded Engineer of the Year 2012 in the category Sustainable Development by Usine Nouvelle.
