Reducing food waster Hot Lime Labs Read more Our technology uses a proprietary material called Hot Lime which acts as a CO2 sponge, separating clean CO2 from combustion gas impurities. When coupled with a wood boiler/gasifier it allows us to produce heat and clean CO2 for use in a glasshouse. Our initial focus is on wood waste feedstock but the system can work with any type of organic waste like agricultural residues. Our proprietary Hot Lime material provides a very high CO2 capacity, allowing Hot Lime systems to be compact, simple to build and easy to operate. The Hot Lime system enables us to produce clean CO2 from different feedstocks at a cost nearly half that of current sources and developing technologies – giving growers greater choice.

Hivemind Precision Apiculture Read more Bees are responsible for pollinating 80% of the world’s crops and in the process produce their own valuable, delicious food which humans love (honey, in case you didn’t get that).Hivemind exists to provide beekeepers and orchardists with key insights into the health and performance of their beehives. We do this by providing beehive sensors that collect hive temperature, activity, and weight data and track this over time. The weight of a beehive can tell a beekeeper when the honey is flowing, when it’s stopped, when the bees need food, and many other important things. The temperature and bee flight activity are vital parameters of the health and performance of the hive. Putting this information together, we provide a “magic window” that the beekeeper can peer into at any time. Founder/s Bryan Hoyt, Ben Hoyt, Berwyn Hoyt Raising capital We recently closed a raise of $550k and are looking to do an increased raise late 2021
