Co-energy aims to tackle the extreme rise of human-made waste and demand for clean energy.

The company developed a device that can turn waste into energy such as electricity or fuel by using a chemical reaction known as pyrolysis. The continuous and automatic process turns non-homogeneous waste into efficient, green energy. The system can handle all types of raw waste, and the entire process is very clean, in accordance with stringent environmental standards.

BugEra is a biotechnology company focused on enhancing the capabilities of the Black Soldier Fly (BSF) through genetic engineering. By developing specialized strains, such as BSFx2, the company aims to increase oil production in BSF larvae, offering a renewable lipid source that can be utilized in biofuels, including biodiesel, renewable diesel, and sustainable aviation fuel.

BugEra’s work addresses challenges in organic waste management and renewable energy by converting waste into usable materials, contributing to circular economy practices and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The company collaborates with biofuel producers to integrate its solutions into existing systems, advancing sustainable practices in the energy sector.

SGTech specializes in biogas production and nutrient recovery solutions, focusing on sustainable farming and waste management. They offer a patented technology called Integrated Ecosystem Solution (IES), which enhances the microbiological anaerobic digestion process. Their technology allows for increased energy production, significant nitrogen removal, and phosphorus recovery from livestock waste, leading to the generation of renewable energy, organic fertilizer, and reusable water. This contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving a carbon-negative operation. SGTech aims to support livestock facilities and agriculture with environmentally and financially viable solutions, in compliance with regulations

Zohar CleanTech is the creator of ZoharX, a patented waste-to-energy solution. ZoharX is an all-in-one waste disposal facility designed to treat unsorted residential waste on-site. It consumes waste by thermal gasification technology, a clean energy technology that converts any material containing carbon into synthesis gas (syngas). The solution provides efficient multistage waste disposal while also producing energy from the syngas and an inert slag from the wastes inorganic ingredients.

Latent Energy develops recycling technology that converts plastic and aluminum waste into reusable commodities using the embedded energy within the waste to power the process. By eliminating the need for external energy input, the system operates with a significantly reduced carbon footprint. Addressing the environmental challenge of low global plastic recycling rates, the technology offers a scalable solution that reduces landfill waste, cuts emissions, and supports circular economy goals.

Naki focuses on transforming untreatable sludge from the food industry into valuable material through a carbon-negative process. This approach is implemented locally at food industry facilities, enabling them to produce biogas on-site and explore additional revenue opportunities.

Naki's process contributes to the development of a local circular oil ecosystem. By utilizing waste materials from food production, the technology helps to reduce landfill volumes and lessens dependency on imported feedstock for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). This method supports environmental sustainability by reducing the carbon footprint of food production facilities and contributing to broader waste reduction and resource efficiency initiatives.

Plastic Back has developed an environmentally friendly technology for converting plastic waste back into crude oil and other valuable chemicals. Based on this technology, Plastic Back has created a conversion unit that enables waste treatment and disposal sites to reduce the amount of waste put in landfills. The company's solution also provides waste producers such as factories, agriculture operations, and hospitals with an alternative to costly waste removal and treatment services.

Additional benefits of Plastic Back's solution include operation at room temperature, treatment of all plastic types with minimal need for presorting, small unit size, and reduction or elimination of greenhouse gas emissions through chemical conversion into hydrocarbons during the process.

NGV focused on commercializing a novel technology for the conversion of syngas, derived from waste or directly from CO2, into renewable fuels via a catalytic process

NGV is a joint venture between the Ralco Group and the Blechner Center for Industrial Catalysis and Process Development represented by BGN Technologies, the tech-transfer company of Ben-Gurion University.

FORNAX strives to make waste gasification globally attainable and economically feasible. The FORNAX gasification system converts nearly any form of waste into renewable energy.

Boson Energy develops solutions for the clean, efficient, and affordable production of circular, carbon-negative hydrogen from otherwise non-recyclable waste and biomass. The price and availability of local hydrogen from waste produced in distributed plants enables both delivery for direct hydrogen use and hydrogen-powered, grid-independent speed-charging for electric vehicles or power grid support.

Boson Energy is currently developing 10 projects granted by the European Clean Hydrogen Alliance. One project is in the construction phase with commissioning expected in Q4 2022; another project has an initial agreement in place and is not entering the permitting phase; and the remaining projects are in the early development phase with partners.

Boson Energy operates in Luxembourg, Israel, and Sweden.
