Mombak removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in the most natural way possible – through large-scale reforestation in the Amazon. The company purchases or leases land formerly used for pastures or farms and restores it to natural forest. Based on this, the company generates high-quality carbon credits, certifying how much CO₂ has actually been removed from the atmosphere, and sells these credits on the voluntary market to companies like Google and Microsoft that want to offset their emissions. The startup is developing its own forest management technologies and carbon trading system.

Spark Cleantech is developing a decarbonization system for heavy industry based on pulsed plasmalysis, which reduces emissions by 85% while simultaneously generating two decarbonized materials: solid carbon and hydrogen. Spark Cleantech's modules are installed between the client's existing gas network and their high-temperature industrial burners. Using pulsed plasma, the technology removes carbon from the gas before combustion, leaving only hydrogen - fully decarbonized energy source used directly in the production process. The extracted carbon is converted into a solid nanomaterial needed for polymer and battery production. Spark Cleantech's technology is currently being tested by clients in the metals, glass, polymer and battery industries.

SaltX Technology has developed an electric CO2 separation technology for direct CO2 capture from air in high-temperature industries, including quicklime and cement production. This electric calcination technology uses electric plasma to replace fossil-driven heating with renewable electricity. The mineral solution used in direct carbon dioxide capture (DAC) is carbonated after binding with CO2 from the air. This carbonate solution can be regenerated during the electric calcination process, separating and isolating the CO2 for further use or geological storage. The EAC (electric arc calciner) is adaptable to various industries. Through seamless integration into DAC systems it makes the release and collection of pure CO2 more efficient. The company has already launched a 1.4 MW pilot plant producing 17 tons of carbon per day.
