Congrats to the team at CO280 for signing one of the largest durable #CDR offtake deals ever! This is exciting news for the #CDR market!

Thank you to everyone who made Evok’s 2025 LP Summit in #Vancouver such a success! The Summit brought together an incredible community of investors, startups, government agencies, strategics, and of course our limited partners in a highly interactive and energetic two days. As we explored the paths to commercialization as our portfolio advances toward large-scale deployment, the excitement in the room was palpable. We were delighted to bring together thought partners such as Alex Deslauriers, Alexander Rink, Alison Nankivell, Andrew Fursman, Hamed Noori, Jim McDermott, Jonathan Fink, Lesley Harding and Susannah L. Pierce to discuss things as diverse as international trade in the current environment, investment opportunities in mitigation and resilience, how to build and exit development companies, and how AI, robotics and quantum computing are upending work as we know it. And of course we highlighted the great work of Evok's portfolio companies. A big thank you to everyone who attended! We are proud to partner with you in driving the global energy transition and building a set of world-class companies. Allonnia, Ekona Power, Sanctuary AI, SensorUp Inc., Syzygy Plasmonics, VEERUM, e-Zinc, Ebb Carbon, Disa Technologies, Inc. , Koloma, MineSense Technologies Ltd., Summit Nanotech, Karbonetiq, Planetary, ZwitterCo, Zero Industrial Inc.

In partnership with our portfolio companies, we at Evok are pleased to share our 2024 Impact Report.   This year, we continued to refine our approach to impact measurement—focusing on metrics that are both meaningful and practical for early-stage companies. Our goal has been to provide clear, actionable guidance that helps our portfolio companies track the real-world outcomes of their technologies as they scale.   We remain deeply grateful to the founders and teams we work with every day. Your commitment, clarity of vision, and willingness to engage in this work are what make progress possible.   Thank you for your collaboration—and for continuing to push the boundaries of what climate innovation can achieve.   Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/gSahMT6C #ClimateTech #Impact #Innovation #EnergyTransition

Evok Leads $10M Investment in Zero Industrial Inc.   We're excited to announce our lead investment in Zero Industrial, a company tackling one of the toughest climate challenges—decarbonizing industrial heat. Zero Industrial develops and finances thermal energy storage (TES)projects that replace fossil fuels with electricity to deliver steam and heat to industrial customers. Their Heat-as-a-Service model means customers can cut emissions and energy costs—with no upfront capital required. Led by Ted Kniesche and Jim McDermott, the team brings deep experience in clean energy, project development, and energy markets. With strong early traction and projects in both the U.S. and Canada, we believe Zero is poised to scale quickly. We’re proud to partner with Rusheen Capital Management, LLC on this round.

🔆 Syzygy deploys the world's largest all-electric ammonia cracking system and proves the viability of using ammonia as an energy carrier. 🔆 “We made history with this project,” said Suman Khatiwada, PhD. "The next step is small commercial plant deployment." LOTTE chemical recently commissioned and tested Syzygy's ammonia e-cracking reactor cell at its facility in Ulsan, South Korea with logistical support from Sumitomo Corporation of Americas and Sumitomo Corporation Korea. The outstanding results in Ulsan set the stage for energy importing regions like Korea to engage in clean ammonia imports. The Rigel cell operated flawlessly throughout all phases of the trial. By manipulating flowrate and light intensity during separate testing phases, the cell produced all-time best achievements: - 11 kWh/kg of hydrogen - 81 percent energy efficiency - 99 percent conversion - 290 kg/d of hydrogen These outstanding results at a third-party site give Syzygy a clear pathway to achieve 8 kWh/kg of hydrogen at the cell level in future Rigel cell designs.
