Top 12 Sustainability Tech companies in New Mexico
#1
Series B · Los Alamos, New Mexico · founded 2014 · 27 employees$18.4Mraised▾
Developer of low-cost quantum dots for industrial applications. The company produces low-toxicity quantum dots, which are being used to develop semi-transparent windows that convert the energy-passive facades of buildings into distributed energy generation units, while simultaneously reducing the heat gain of the building. The technology works by tinting a window with a fluorophore that absorbs sunlight and subsequently luminesces monochromatic light. This light is guided through the window to the edge where a small PV device converts the light into electricity. The LSC is semi-transparent, and filters visible light neutrally, so as not to impart unnatural colour to the transmitted light.

Series A · Los Alamos, New Mexico · founded 2022$25.1Mraised▾
Developer of cost-effective, scalable direct air capture (DAC) carbon removal technology. This technology utilizes a novel sorbent material and innovative process design within a modular framework. A non-TVSA desorption process significantly reduces energy consumption compared to existing methods, while rapid sorption/desorption rates achieve efficient carbon dioxide capture. The approach optimizes energy input, sorbent cost and durability, and facility capital expenditure to ensure high-quality, low-cost carbon removal. Real-time monitoring and verification provide measurable and provable carbon removal results.
