本次入选企业各具特色：

• 海洋农业科技公司Astraeus Ocean Systems为贝藻养殖提供水质监测与作物建模服务；
• Benchmark Star通过自动化合规追踪系统助力楼宇管理者满足清洁建筑法规要求；
• 城市规划专家创立的Climate Solutions International为全球城市提供气候适应型基础设施解决方案；
• EVQ平台运用人工智能技术简化电动汽车选购与使用流程；
• FlameWise研发便携式炭化炉将木质废料转化为固碳生物炭；
• OceanMade开发海藻基可降解种植容器替代塑料育苗盆；
• REearthable利用采矿废料石灰石制造生物降解塑料；
• Seeking Ferments则专注于采用本地原料酿造发酵饮料。

该孵化器首批曾成功扶持六家气候与绿色科技初创企业，持续为应对气候变化注入创新动力。

华盛顿大学CoMotion实验室已为其气候科技孵化器遴选出第二批初创企业。这些创始人致力于应对广泛的可持续发展挑战，包括提升电动汽车普及率、减少塑料使用、支持本地食品饮料生产，以及为城市制定智能气候战略。

该为期六个月的项目设立于西雅图气候创新中心，该中心是位于市中心的公私合作机构。该场地不仅支持孵化器内的气候创业项目，还定期举办面向公众的活动。

入选的八家早期初创企业将在团队建设、商业计划制定、战略伙伴关系建立及融资路演筹备等方面获得支持。所有入选企业将于九月在成果展示日分享进展。

滑翔蚁创投合伙人、蓝点光子科技前首席执行官贾里德·西尔维亚担任CoMotion导师。他表示："若本地区真有意成为气候科技领域的引领者，就必须探索更多途径来支持创业者。气候科技孵化器为现有支持生态系统注入了强劲动力。"

入选企业名单如下：

阿斯翠斯海洋系统：这家海事农业科技初创企业为贝类及海藻养殖业务提供水质监测与作物生长建模服务。总部位于华盛顿州贝灵厄姆的创始团队包括两名博士研究员和一位业务拓展负责人。

标杆之星：通过自动化法规追踪与公用事业数据报告流程，帮助设施管理者合规执行清洁建筑法规。该项目诞生于去年西雅图气候创新中心的黑客松活动，由拥有十余年清洁能源领域经验的蕾妮·加斯蒂诺主导。

国际气候解决方案：由华盛顿大学城市规划教授简·惠廷顿创立。惠廷顿致力于制定战略，帮助城市在气候变化背景下采取行动，同时提升基础设施的气候适应性。世界银行曾资助她将这套方法论推广至30个国家的300座城市，其初创企业正将这项专业经验转化为商业模式。

EVQ：这家一站式人工智能平台帮助驾驶者查找、购买及操作电动汽车，消除充电焦虑与其他购车障碍。这家西雅图初创企业脱胎于非营利组织Coltura，该组织由EVQ现任首席执行官马修·梅茨创立，长期推动电动汽车政策研究。

智慧火焰：为个人与社区生产便携式炭化炉，将废弃木质碎料转化为可固碳并改良土壤的生物炭。相比露天焚烧，这种炭化炉能显著减少烟雾污染。创始人科琳娜·斯塔克因管理自家20英亩林地的木材废弃物遇到挑战而创立该项目。

海洋制造：为苗圃、景观设计师、园艺爱好者及小型农场提供海藻材质花盆，以替代塑料制品。这种海藻容器既能促进根系发育，栽种后还可在土壤中自然降解。首席执行官艾米丽·鲍尔曾在微软工作近八年，于2021年在西雅图创立该企业。

再生地球：利用采矿作业中回收的废弃石灰石制造可生物降解塑料。这家西雅图初创企业的材料适用于化妆品、食品包装等领域。首席执行官夏洛特·温特曼是连续创业者，拥有销售、市场营销及商业战略背景。

寻味发酵：采用本地原料在西雅图酿造发酵饮料与康普茶。联合创始人珍妮特·马西亚斯与莉兹·马西亚斯于2019年创立该品牌，目前通过线上渠道、农贸市场及自营"补给站"销售产品。

The University of Washington’s CoMotion Labs has selected the second cohort of startups for its Climate Tech Incubator. The founders are tackling wide-ranging sustainability challenges including boosting EV adoption, reducing plastic use, supporting local food and beverage production, and developing smart climate strategies for cities.
The six-month program is located at the Seattle Climate Innovation Hub, a public-private partnership in the city’s downtown. The venue supports climate entrepreneurship beyond the incubator and hosts regular public events.
Eight early-stage startups participating in the program receive support in building teams, developing their business plans, forging strategic partnerships and preparing to make their pitch to investors. The cohort will share their progress at a demo day in September.
Jared Silvia, partner at Gliding Ant Ventures and former CEO of BlueDot Photonics, is a CoMotion mentor.
“If our region is serious about being a leader in climate tech, we need to find more ways to support more founders,” Silvia said. “The Climate Tech Incubator is a fantastic addition to the support ecosystem.”
Here are the participants:
Astraeus Ocean Systems is a maritime ag-tech startup, offering water-quality monitoring and crop modeling for shellfish and seaweed growing operations. The Bellingham, Wash.-based company’s founding team includes two Ph.D.-holding research scientists and a leader in business development.
Benchmark Star helps facilities managers comply with clean building regulations by automating regulation tracking and streamlining utility data reporting. The effort launched out of a Seattle Climate Innovation Hub hackathon last year and is led by Renee Gastineau, who has worked in clean energy for more than a decade.
Climate Solutions International is the brainchild of Jan Whittington, a UW urban planning professor. Whittington developed strategies for helping cities take action on climate change while making their infrastructure more resilient in a warming world. The World Bank funded her to apply the approach across 300 cities in 30 countries, and her startup is turning that expertise into a business.
EVQ is a one-stop, AI-powered platform helping drivers find, buy and operate electric vehicles, demystifying battery charging and other hurdles to EV ownership. The Seattle startup spun out of Coltura, a nonprofit promoting EV policies and research founded by EVQ CEO Matthew Metz.
FlameWise produces portable kilns for individuals and communities to turn unwanted woody debris into biochar that sequesters carbon and provides soil benefits. The kilns are a low-smoke alternative to burn piles. Seattle’s Korina Stark launched the effort following challenges to manage wood waste on her own 20-acre forested property.
OceanMade offers seaweed-based pots for nurseries, landscapers, gardeners and small farms who want to avoid plastic waste. The kelp containers also support root development and naturally degrade in the soil after planting. CEO Emily Power previously worked at Microsoft for nearly eight years before founding the Seattle startup in 2021.
REearthable is manufacturing biodegradable plastics from waste limestone recovered from mining operations. The material from the Seattle-area startup is suitable for cosmetics, food packaging and other applications. CEO Charlotte Wintermann is a serial entrepreneur with a background in sales, marketing and business strategy.
Seeking Ferments produces fermented beverages and kombucha that are brewed in Seattle from locally sourced ingredients. Co-founders Jeanette Macias and Lyz Macias launched their startup in 2019 and now sell their beverages online and at farmers markets and their “filling station.”
