CEL will be part of Elemental Excelerator's Cohort 11, which is focused on the urgent themes of climate resilience, zero carbon, and the built environment.
Elemental's Cohort 11 invests in technologies that are enabling system-wide decarbonization, helping communities become more climate resilient, and redesigning our built environment. Cohort members are zeroing in on hard-to-decarbonize industries like maritime and ports, buildings, and construction. They represent communities in the U.S., India, and Mexico.
Elemental calls the new cohort members "transformative teams working to redraw the big picture around our largest-emitting sectors, collaborate with frontline communities and infuse equity into their innovations." Elemental is supporting CEL and the 16 other members of Cohort 11 with capital investment as well as wraparound services to help us get to market faster.
