Stories of Technology, Innovation, & Entrepreneurship in the Southeast

Halliburton Labs has announced five companies that have joined its collaborative ecosystem. The five will participate in what is termed the “Finalist Pitch Day” on March 26 in Denver, just ahead of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s 30^th annual Industry Growth Forum.

The program accelerates late stage clean energy and climate ventures to commercialization through a collaborative environment where entrepreneurs, academics, investors, and industrial labs join to advance cleaner, affordable energy.

“We welcome these innovative energy start-ups,” said Dale Winger, Managing Director of Halliburton Labs. “We are eager to help these participant companies use their time and capital efficiently to progress new solutions that meet industry requirements for cost, reliability, and sustainability.”

Participants in the latest cohort include:

1. 360 Energy, Inc. which brings a new market for natural gas to the oil field. With its innovative In-Field Computing technology, 360 Energy captures flared or stranded gas and monetizes it through modular data centers. This provides a valuable solution for resource owners.
2. Cella that advances subsurface mineralization of carbon dioxide. The company’s end-to-end services, from resource assessment to proprietary injection technology, and monitoring techniques, provide valuable geologic carbon storage solutions.
3. espiku which develops solutions that advance water and valuable minerals recovery from brines and industrial produced water streams. With the use of low-pressure thermal cycles and a modular design, Espiku’s systems allow for rapid deployment in diverse environments that unlock the vast potential of domestic resources to support energy and material supply chains.
4. Mitico that offers innovative technology and services to capture carbon dioxide (CO₂). Their patent-pending granulated metal carbonate sorption technology (GMC), originally developed and validated at Caltech, captures more than 95 percent of the CO₂ emitted from post-combustion point sources (flue gases).
5. NuCube Energy which has a nuclear fission reactor under development. It will produce electricity and high-temperature heat for electrical and industrial markets. The modular microreactor enhances safety and lowers construction and operational costs.
