Mote

Today we announce the first close of our Series A financing round at $7 million. The raise is significant in advancing technology needed for domestic energy expansion, and doing so while removing CO2?from the air. Our investors support Mote’s technology leadership in BiCRS and our path toward deployment in markets where we will have the most impact in reducing waste, wildfire risk, and filling gaps in energy availability. ? Many thanks to our committed team and anchor investors Nella Next, Tom Preston-Werner at Preston-Werner Ventures with support from Counteract and other strategic partners, and prior funding from USDA Forest Service, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), California Department of Conservation and California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE). ? #ARCHES #Hydrogen #BiCRS #RenewableEnergy #GreenHydrogen #BiomassEnergy #HydrogenEconomy

Help students help the planet! In The OpenAir Collective's volunteer-run Carbon Removal Challenge, student teams compete to develop the most innovative, practical, and scalable #CDR solutions. We have 53 teams participating from 20 countries, almost double last year's participation! Plus 15 volunteer mentors, 29 volunteer judges, and 6 CDR webinars! We plan to bring the finalist teams to NYC to present at Carbon Unbound, which one of last year's finalists said was the best part of her university experience! This year we are struggling to raise funds to make this a reality. We need sponsors and donors to make tax-deductible donations. Make a difference in these students lives and career paths!

More support for Mote! Mote has been paired with Carbon Solutions in a new funding opportunity from ENERGYWERX, a platform dedicated to broadening U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) engagement and collaborative activities with innovative organizations on novel solutions. Carbon Solutions will provide community engagement support to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory spin-out, Mote, unlocking their ability to further commercialize a technology that converts biomass waste to clean hydrogen and permanently storable CO2. #BICRS, #hydrogen, #hydrogeneconomy #renewableenergy #biomassenergy #DOE

Mote is excited to announce that Joan Dunlap has joined the company as Chief Financial Officer. Joan brings 20 years of executive-level experience in the energy sector. Her roles at JPMorgan, Petrohawk, Laredo Energy and others fit with our strategy to grow the company around cutting edge technology, scaling, transacting, and building a great team. ? Together, we look forward to advancing our Carbon Negative Shot pilot with the?U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and National Renewable Energy Laboratory, our commercial project with the California Hydrogen Hub ARCHES H2, as well as?the many opportunities for growth on the horizon here at Mote. Welcome, Joan!

The Mote team is celebrating a win. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)?has announced support?for our pilot facility as part of their Carbon Negative Shot program. ? ?? We will receive $7M in Federal funds (the top funding award) to construct and operate an end-to-end pilot plant that turns wood waste into hydrogen, with a carbon removal capacity of about 3 tons CO2?per day. ? ?? Mote will work in partnership with the?National Renewable Energy Laboratory on the pilot, which brings three decades of combined biomass gasification experience to the table. ? ?? Leading experts, such as Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, in the U.S. continue to affirm Biomass Carbon Removal and Storage (BiCRS), and specifically Mote’s technology. ? ?? The pilot will be up and running more than a year ahead of our first planned commercial facility which is a Tier 1 project in ARCHES H2, allowing Mote to refine operational strategies and head off risks for our full sized facility. ? While U.S. clean hydrogen is in its early stages, growth will be exponential. Hydrogen development is becoming integral to global energy security. At the same time, major U.S. industrial and data centers are looking to hydrogen as a reliable energy source. Project decisions hinging on 45V rules will soon get clarity, and we believe the pace of the market will accelerate. ? Thank you to all team members, internal and external to the company, who helped bring this to reality. ? Read more at https://lnkd.in/enpyXDjb #hydrogen #BICRS #FOAK #biomass #bioenergy

As we celebrate Hydrogen Day, we affirm our commitment to driving innovative solutions that contribute to a greener future. Our participation in?the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) awarded ARCHES H2?California Hub aligns with our mission to not only provide zero emission hydrogen but also perform carbon removal while utilizing wood waste for?a?cleaner,?more?sustainable?world.
