TLC is looking to build on its efforts to enable solutions that remove carbon emissions at scale, including:
  • Revolutionary technology-based carbon capture, utilization, and storage solutions that effectively capture and convert carbon emissions into useful products, for example, building materials, reclamation sand, or synthetic fuels;
  • Low-carbon solutions for energy, urban infrastructure, transport, and logistics that generate cost-effective energy from renewable sources, for example, hydrogen, wind and tidal energy;
  • Solutions that significantly reduce the carbon emissions produced by industries and buildings, for example, cooling systems;
  • Solutions that drastically reduce the negative impact of climate change include, for example, mitigating extreme heat and the urban heat island effect.
Your solution should be:
  • Carbon is negative in the overall lifecycle and has zero or minimal externalities;
