EMROD is researching, developing, and implementing cutting-edge long-range wireless power transfer technology. They have developed a proprietary system for safely sending large amounts of power over long distances using microwave energy - also known as power-beaming. Their technology has the potential to revolutionise power grids globally, connect locations that were previously possible to reach, and provide power on the go.

Astrix Astronautics’s unique inflatable solar array deployment systems significantly reduce the cost and complexity of powering spacecraft while having a perfect footprint for these smaller satellites. This revolutionary system opens new opportunities for the space industry, not only providing lower-cost, high-performance solutions for satellite operators but opening up opportunities for a range of other space structures such as radiators, Antenna, heat shields and drag sails.

Fourteen ambitious Kiwi cleantech startups will soon chase global investment and partnership opportunities as part of the 2024 Cleantech Trek to the USA and Europe.

Basis has developed the world's first residential smart panel – designed to replace the old-school switchboard. It enables homeowners to reduce their electricity costs, make their homes dramatically safer and lower barriers to adopting important electrification technologies, such as EV, battery and solar.

Fabrum’s newest pieces of technology will enable customers in a broad range of sectors to transition to zero-loss liquid hydrogen handling and storage. The result is a potential 25% cost reduction per kg, helping to drive demand for green hydrogen and associated technologies, along with a reduction in emissions.

Bspkl’s high-performance catalyst coated membranes reduce the costs of producing green hydrogen, making it a viable green energy source.

Three Kiwi cleantech startups seeking to follow in the footsteps of Nasdaq-listed waste-to -value leader Lanzatech have been included in a list of those to watch in the Asia-Pacific.

Graphite is a major component of lithium-ion batteries, which power the many devices and vehicles we use every day. However, as market demand for lithium-ion batteries skyrockets driven by the electrification economy, so too does the environmental cost. Ārohia Trailblazer Grant recipient’s CarbonScape are the first company in the world to pioneer technology for creating sustainable, carbon negative biographite for the battery sector, using renewable forestry waste such as woodchips.

Blockchain as an energy sector game-changer Transcript [Stu Innes] It's been a pretty interesting afternoon.

In the past week scientists at the Measurements Standards Laboratory (MSL), part of Callaghan’s Lower Hutt campus, have been trying out new equipment supplied by Australia’s National Measurement Institute (NMIA) that can improve the accuracy of electrical power meter calibration across the country.
