VANCOUVER — The B.C. Centre for Innovation and Clean Energy (CICE) is investing $2.46 million in five women-led climate tech ventures through its inaugural Women in Climate Tech Call for Innovation.

This funding supports solutions driving decarbonization in the transportation, construction and bio-industrial sectors, explains a release.

From 58 applicants, the following five ventures were selected:

  • Agora Energy Technologies – Turning CO2 into clean power by combining capture, purification and conversion in a one step process.
  • Ayrton Energy Inc. – Making hydrogen easy to move and store using today’s fuel infrastructure.
  • EnviCore Inc. – Transforming industrial waste into low carbon cement alternatives.
  • Gaia Refinery – Removing carbon at scale with a plug-and-play system for bio-industries.

“Solving today’s climate and energy challenges will take innovation, practical leadership, and strategic investment in technologies that can scale,” said Sarah Goodman, president and CEO of CICE, in a statement. “By backing women-led climate tech ventures, we’re strengthening Canada’s economy, driving real-world solutions, and unlocking the full potential of Canadian talent.”

To date CICE has invested $39.7 million in 65 projects valued at over $264.3 million.
