Description: CoverCress’ crop-breeding technology produces oilseed cover crops that can be grown between corn and soybean rotations. The resulting crops provide additional feedstock for food oils, animal feed, and biofuel production while maintaining cover-crop functions.

Description: CO-Z’s modular energy storage technology combines lithium iron phosphate battery modules, power electronics, and smart power management software. The plug-and-play systems support residential backup power, automated peak shaving, and integration with distributed virtual power plants.

Description: Cypris Materials’ structural-color technology uses plant-based materials and metal-free, heat-reflective coatings to produce tunable colors without conventional pigments or dyes. The coatings create color through nanoscale light interaction for use in paints, packaging, roofing, and other surfaces.

Description: Cytophage Technologies’ bacteriophage platform uses molecular genetics and synthetic biology to engineer phages that target specific bacterial strains. The technology addresses bacterial infections and contamination in animal health, human health, and food production, including antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Description: Darcy Solutions’ geothermal technology uses groundwater as a heat exchanger to provide efficient heating and cooling for commercial buildings. Its Darcy Dipole System is a groundwater-based geothermal configuration optimized for site-specific geology, enabling high thermal capacity with a smaller well-field footprint than conventional geothermal systems.

Description: DTE Materials’ natural-fiber concrete combines plant-based fibers with concrete to provide thermal and acoustic insulation in building applications. The material also offers resistance to fire, mold, and mildew.

Description: EarthSense’s autonomous agricultural robotics technology combines autonomous navigation, multisensor edge artificial intelligence, and robotic platforms for plant-level crop monitoring and management. The system supports precision application and optimization of agricultural chemicals.

Description: EdgePower’s energy management and facility automation platform integrates real-time utility metering, thermodynamic building simulations, and automated controls. The system coordinates heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning scheduling, peak-demand management, and behind-the-meter energy assets to optimize building energy use.

Description: Edison’s bio-based rubber technology uses sunflower leaf biomass as a source of natural rubber. Its computational genomics and AI-driven breeding platform identifies sunflower hybrids with increased rubber production.

Description: Electrical Grid Monitoring’s grid sensing and analytics technology uses multisensor probes to capture high-frequency electrical measurements across transmission and distribution networks. The resulting real-time data supports grid monitoring, load management, and integration of distributed energy resources.
