CH4 Global™, Inc. is a ClimateTech company focused on significantly impacting climate change (gigatonne reductions in GHG) with urgency (before 2030). With expertise in turning ambitious ideas into successful, fit-for-purpose products, CH4 Global enables farmers to radically reduce their methane emissions in support of the 2oC target. Today, we leverage 10+ years of science validating a unique seaweed species, Asparagopsis, that we grow in land and ocean-based, IP-protected aquaculture systems designed to focus on : (1) performance – 80-95% removal of methane; (2) safety and; (3) positive value to the farmer. CH4 Global is headquartered in Henderson, NV, with subsidiaries in Australia and New Zealand and by 2024/5 will be operating on all 6 habitable continents.
MicroLED is the next major leap forward for displays on large panel TVs, smartwatches and VR/AR headsets. However, achieving the necessary high-efficiency, ultra-fine-pitch full-color pixels has proved a challenge at material, device and system levels. Porotech’s world’s first commercial microLED epi-wafer based on PoroGaN® and DPTTM technology provides an entirely new engineered material platform to build microdisplay on. Thanks to its superior material properties and functionalities, it enables all three primary colours, especially the difficult Red for conventional technology, to be made with the same GaN material and integrated on a single wafer, or even on a single pixel by totally eliminating sub-pixels from microdisplay architecture. Not only it offers scalability for mass production, and flexibility for process upgradation, but also simplicity for system integration, and resilience for supply chain.
