The 20 companies that pitched during the last two days were part of the startup battlefield. The 20 companies that were selected as the best of the startup Battlefield 200 were invited to compete for a chance to win $100,000.
A whole new panel of judges will be watching the final five presentations on the last day of Disrupt in October of 2022.
The price of green hydrogen is going to be slashed by as much as 50% by Advanced Ionics. Despite all the talk of hydrogen as a fuel of the future, the industry is still filthy for most of the time. Most of the hydrogen gas that humans produce is grey, a classification that means the producers rely on methane to isolated the element for use in fertilizer and as fuel. As awareness of climate change and interest in hydrogen-powered freight grows, so too has demand for an eco-friendly option. Green hydrogen uses renewable energy to separate water from hydrogen and oxygen. It requires a lot of clean energy and is costly, but it is a better production method.
AppMap wants to stop bad code from being made into production. According to the startup, the open source dynamic runtime code analysis tool is the first of its kind and was built on the idea that developers should be able to see the behavior of software as they write it. AppMap, which was built from the ground up over a three-year period, shows developers which components are communicating with which components, at what throughput and latency, at what network speed and whether there are.
They stay around for a long time, even though they are great for a lot of things. Intropic came up with a set of enzymes that can be added to plastic at the beginning of their life cycle, before it becomes products. The company is trying to upend how plastic is made and how it's discarded. Many of the most commonly used plastics are not harmful to the environment. In the normal course of plastic production, the pellet or powders are added with the help of the enzymes. The manufacturing processes used to make plastic products are unaffected. The products can be composted at the end of their life cycle.
A coordinated framework that looks like black gravel and is able to extract critical materials from brine in just three days has been created by MINERVA LITHIUM. It can do it in three days using just 30,000 gallons of water. It takes half a million gallons of water to get the same amount of brine. The surface area of one gram of this absorbent material is equal to that of a soccer pitch, which gives you an idea of how little you would need to extract a lot of minerals.
There is an electric grass-cutting and snow removal robot that is made by swap robotics. Most of the startup's focus will be on facilitating robots that cut grass and vegetation on 1,000+ acres of solar farms. The company is focused on plowing the sidewalk. The team wanted to create a solution that could cut grass in a controlled environment. When it comes to solar vegetation cutting, it requires a unique type of cutting deck that is able to get underneath solar panels, and that's where a robotic solution could come in.
