Top Energy Startups in 2027

We build and deploy dense networks of cloud-connected "KOKOpoints" inside local corner stores, which serve as consumer access points for goods and services delivered in partnership with major suppliers. Our first consumer solution is a liquid ethanol cooking fuel, which delivers significant cost savings and quality of life improvements in the multi-billion dollar market for urban cooking fuel. This fuels solution is delivered through a Kenyan operating partnership with Vivo Energy, the company which owns and operates Shell-branded fuels distribution infrastructure across Africa.

Fuel accounts for nearly 40% of operating costs in the Trucking Industry. For those long haul, over-the-road delivery fleets who face large costs associated with diesel gasoline, Hyliion is developing an add-on hybrid system for tractor-trailers that will reduce their fuel consumption by over 30% with an ROI of less than 1 year. Our mission is to supply the trucking industry with a unique product that will reduce fuel consumption and improve our energy footprint. The Hyliion System uses regenerative braking to capture power when the vehicle is slowing down and reuses it to accelerate. The Hyliion System is a win-win-win: a steward for the planet, people, and sustainable profit.

Threats from extreme weather and the increased adoption of distributed energy resources (DERs) require that electric utilities get smart about proactively mitigating risk on the distribution grid. These mitigations generally entail inspection and inventory of grid assets, but current methods are ill-suited for the task, requiring dedicated vehicles and crews - a process that is entirely manual, extremely costly and too slow. Noteworthy AI's solution, Inspector™, reduces the need for dedicated distribution asset inspections and mitigates risk at-scale while reducing cost. The Inspector hardware sensors and AI edge processing arrays mount on existing fleet vehicles and automatically geolocate, inventory, and identify pole-top component defects while vehicles perform routine operations, reducing the need to mobilize dedicated inspection teams.
