MacRebur uses waste plastics destined for landfill or incineration and adding them into asphalt for road construction and surfacing to extend and enhance the bitumen (fossil fuel) binder. It argues that its carefully selected plastics, taken from the waste stream, are added into roads to improve strength and durability, whilst reducing the quantity of the oil-based bitumen used in a traditional road construction mix. MacRebur asserts that with each km of road laid using its MR products, the company sustainably uses up the equivalent weight of 740,541 one-time-use plastic bags. MacRebur has completed road tests in numerous countries including the UK and Europe, Turkey, Australia, and Japan to name a few. It has also signed agreements with India, the USA, Chile, Estonia, Kuwait, New Zealand, Switzerland, Bahrain, Spain, and Malaysia. The company will use the investment to build its manufacturing plants in five strategic locations across the world.

Carbon Negative Permeable Pavement Systems (CNPPS) offers Carbon Negative solution for hard surfaces like pavements and road networks. The company uses secondary aggregates, waste products and carbon-negative materials in its pavement systems which absorb more carbon in the manufacturing process than the carbon emitted per square meter by traditional carbon-intensive road construction methods. CNPPS's products are also permeable and can reduce flooding caused by rainwater run-off, thereby improving road safety. The company argues that its products are an estimated 5-8% less expensive than the currently used processes, having the potential to lessen the infrastructure budgets of the UK government. CNPPS requires initial funding to carry out a trial of its system by the Highways of England. The company will use the investment funds to trial, accredit, CE mark and market CNPPS, and generate buyer interest in its products.

Gravitricity is an energy technology company that uses heavyweights to store energy underground. The company uses winches to raise a heavyweight to the top of a vertical shaft to store electricity in the form of potential energy when there is excess energy on the grid. It then lowers it when required with the winch motors running as generators to transfer energy back to users on the grid. Gravitricity argues that the system can be charged and discharged multiple times a day for over 25 years. The company has built a 250kW concept demo in Edinburgh. It aims to become a contender in the energy storage market that is predicted to become a $620 billion market by 2040. The company has received interest from operating mines, grid companies, EV charging stations and solar developers for its technology. It will use the investment to complete the concept and detailed design for its prototype, develop its commercial projects portfolio, and protect its Intellectual Property (IP).
