PyroCore is a waste-to-energy technology company. Its technology, Pyrolisis, burns waste and sludge for 30 minutes at 700-900 degree celsius in the absence of oxygen, which leads to reduction of waste volume by 90%, and the energy output can be used for heat, steam or power generation. It also eliminates the need for landfill sites, reduces carbon emissions, and helps businesses cut down on landfill taxes. The company has partnered with institutions such as Brunel University London and The Association for Renewable Energy and Technology. It has also contributed to charities such as Fresh Water Habitats, ALK Positive UK, and others. It is seeking support for deployment of its technology on sites where safe and easy disposal of hazardous or infectious waste can be undertaken, especially in the wake of Covid-19.

Mootral is a British Swiss agro-technology company that has come up with its patented natural feed supplement that significantly reduces methane emissions from ruminants by up to 38%. It claims that cow burps are the single biggest source of methane apart from the oil and gas sector. Mootral argues that its product addresses the above issue. The company teamed up with its flagship UK partner, Brades Farm, to provide them with Mootral for their cattle. Mootral has also earned carbon credits from enteric methane reduction from cattle, averaging >70 € per credit. The company intends to use this to finance the cost of its ruminant and help governments around the world reduce their emission targets. It has also received support from the Swiss Climate Foundation and featured in press entities such as CNN and Sky News. The company states it will use the investment to reach 10% of today's almost 1 billion industrialised cattle by 2030, hire key personnel and develop more climate-friendly solutions.
