Blue Frontier is committed to reducing the carbon footprint of buildings by slashing the energy consumption associated with comfort cooling. Blue Frontier is also an NREL/Wells-Fargo Innovation Incubator portfolio company.

  • HyperJet Fusion Corporation designs and builds some of the world’s most advanced plasma guns that have applications in a variety of industries including clean energy, aerospace, and industry. HyperJet is also exploring a second promising new fusion energy reactor concept that is based on impact fusion. HyperJet sees fusion energy as a pathway to safe, clean, and economical baseload energy for the entire planet.
  • Manta Biofuel has developed a suite of technologies that enables it to produce renewable crude oil that is cost competitive with fossil crude oil. Its proprietary technology allows us to harvest algae grown naturally in open ponds.
