​Cantos is excited to host its portfolio companies, Twelve, Furno Materials, and Limelight Steel, in a discussion on the future of industrial decarbonization.

​The world’s industrial sector produces materials integral to our daily lives––from cement to plastics, fuel, and steel production. It is no surprise that it accounts for over 28%* of global greenhouse emissions. It is going to take a variety of solutions to greatly reduce the greenhouse gasses from heavy industry—from carbon capture, novel production pathways, electrification and other creative solutions.

​Join us in a panel conversation with innovators in this space: Etosha Cave, Co-Founder of Twelve, Andy Zhao, Co-Founder & CTO of Limelight Steel, and Gurinder Nagra Founder & CEO of Furno Materials. In this conversation, you will get to hear from the founders about why they chose their respective approach, any key learnings and challenges they’ve faced through their journey and how they’ve navigated the scale gap from R&D to commercial scale, and other illuminating insights of the current state of industrial decarbonization.

​Join us afterwards for drinks and networking with our panelists and friends in this sector. Hope to see you there!

​About Twelve:

​Twelve makes the world's most critical chemicals, materials and fuels from air, not oil with our revolutionary carbon transformation technology.

​We're reinventing what it means to be a chemical company in the climate era, on a mission to eliminate global emissions and build a fossil-free future. 

​About Furno:

​Furno diverges from the outdated “bigger-is-better” philosophy obeyed by the cement industry. Instead, we take our cue from the steel industry’s shift to mini-mills which enabled these adaptable, nimble foundries to become the dominant technology in steel production. We leverage the low-cost strategy of mini-mills and apply it to the cement industry by building small, efficient and modular cement plants.  

​About Limelight Steel:

​Limelight Steel produces zero-emissions steel while using 40 percent less energy than any other technology. Its mission is to eliminate fossil fuels from steelmaking, which currently contributes over 7 percent of global CO₂ emissions, by providing clean industrial heat specifically tuned for iron ore.
