Company News
ETH spinoffs Vzyn, Calvin Risk and EPFL spinoff Bloom Biorenewables developing new solutions to re-shape the construction, fintech sectors and chemicals, have been selected to join global accelerator programs. With support from industry experts and mentors, these startups will have the opportunity to refine their solutions and expand their networks, driving growth and development. Vyzn has been selected to join the GROUNDBREAKERS Accelerator Program to support enhancing their expansion strategy and take the company to the next level. Backed by DGNB German Sustainable Building Council, Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering IAO and Hochschule für Technik Stuttgart, this program provides a space to learn, grow and transform insights into action. Vyzn is an ETH Zurich spin-off that leverages advanced technologies to address critical challenges in the construction industry, such as reducing CO2 emissions, resource waste, and improving energy efficiency. Their SaaS platform uses 3D/BIM models to analyze and optimize building sustainability, allowing for faster certification processes with labels like Minergie and SNBS. Climate tech accelerator welcomes Bloom BiorenewablesBloom Biorenewable is one of the startups selected for the Third Derivative, RMI's climate tech accelerator program, joining 43 new startups, including 26 new startups in the new Industrial Innovation Cohorts focused on decarbonizing steel, cement, and chemicals
For decades, RMI has worked with the General Services Administration to cut energy consumption and related costs.
RMI's recently launched Plastics Extrusion and Molding Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting Guidance requires emissions disclosure from all plastics production steps, from fossil fuel extraction to fully shaped plastic products.
To meet this demand, RMI launched the pacta.multi.loanbook software package, empowering banking supervisors to analyze and measure alignment of lending portfolios with climate scenarios.
The carbon budget is further complicated because projects that are seen as good, either for climate action or for social reasons, can actually increase emissions, according to the report. When city council added 50,000 annual bus hours to the Edmonton Transit Service, it was assumed that this would lead to a reduction in community emissions as more people might be encouraged to take public transit. However, the increase in service required 20 new diesel buses, which is estimated to increase corporate carbon emissions by 1,300 tonnes annually. Council also approved supportive housing projects in Canora and Garneau, which will help house people with complex health and addiction needs. However, those buildings will contribute to increased emissions. Altamirano pointed out road-widening projects as having a positive impact on carbon emissions, as it enables vehicle traffic to flow more freely, reducing emissions from idling
