Energy powers prosperity.
The innovation pipeline is stronger than ever. As founders, investors, and partners gather in Houston for the BEV Investor Summit, we’ll focus on what it takes to scale companies that can deliver affordable, reliable, clean energy across the world’s largest industries.
Phykion’s oil-rich algae could offer a new path to cleaner aviation fuel using sunlight, CO2, and seawater.
@heronpower is modernizing transformers so new loads can connect faster and use grid capacity more efficiently.

Industrial heat is a massive market, and thermal batteries are starting to prove they can compete.
@antoraenergy is turning low-cost electricity into reliable, high-temperature heat and power, while @rondoenergy is attacking the same opportunity with firebrick storage.

@FirstSolar is licensing @CubicPV's perovskite IP. That reinforces CubicPV’s position as a key technology and IP players as the solar industry moves toward higher-performing tandem solar.

@WeaveGrid is helping North Carolina cooperatives shift charging to lower-cost hours, saving EV drivers money while making better use of existing grid capacity.

We’re extending our BE Fellows – SEA program through 2030 with @Temasek and Enterprise Singapore, alongside new corporate partners @OlamAgri_, @pertamina NRE, PTT ExpresSo NB.
The region pairs fast-growing energy demand with deep technical talent. This extension gives more early-stage builders a clearer path from breakthrough science to companies that scale.

@RedwoodMat’s Energy Ecosystem pairs second-life EV batteries with power electronics and software to help companies generate and store power on-site, without waiting years for a new grid connection.
With @CrusoeAI and @Rivian already putting it to work, Redwood is creating a faster, cleaner path to power.

More copper doesn’t always have to mean more mines. BE Fellow Giraffe Bio just raised a new seed round to advance biomolecules that could help existing mines recover up to 5% more copper.

Our next cohort of BE Fellows is looking for builders with early-stage climate technologies that could reshape major industries.
If that sounds like what you’re working on, apply by November 2: bth-energy.com/4zQxOnC

Synthetic fuel at aviation scale will take a different kind of plant. @BillGates and Lydian CEO Joe Rodden explain how smaller facilities designed for replication and mass production could help get there.
Batteries are great, until you need to cross an ocean.
Eric Toone explains why energy density keeps liquid fuels at the center of long-haul flight, and how the @traveloneworld BEV Fund is backing better ways to make them.
From BE Fellow to breaking ground on a U.S. steel facility. @HerthaMetals started in our first cohort. Cohort 7 applications are open now: bth-energy.com/4dNI8El

SAF is only one piece of the liquid fuels opportunity.
Our Executive Director Rodi Guidero looks at how technologies like natural hydrogen, cheaper electrolysis, and new fuel pathways—and hard-earned expertise from oil and gas—can help build the next generation of fuels.

Algae could help fuel the future of flight.
Our founder @BillGates shares how Phykion is engineering oil-rich algae to produce more of the feedstock SAF needs—using sunlight, CO2, seawater, and existing HEFA refining infrastructure.
Hard markets make better companies.
Our CIO @carmichaelvc on how the Lydian and Phykion teams are building for aviation, and why the right partners can change the trajectory.

25 MW. Up to 50 hours. @fourthpowerinc is building thermal batteries designed to keep reliable power flowing when demand spikes.
Its first demonstration system is now under construction in Massachusetts.
