Winduction
ZH
Formation
None
Winduction is developing a dynamic wireless power transfer system for electric vehicles, enabling real-time charging while driving. By integrating energy receivers into vehicle wheels and ground-based transmitters powered by local renewable sources (e.g., solar panels), the system allows efficient energy transfer without relying heavily on grid storage. The approach supports decentralized energy supply, fractional infrastructure ownership, and monetization for energy producers and street owners. Winduction originated from a thesis at ETH Zurich, with a prototype achieving 81% transfer efficiency. The company aims to reduce fossil fuel reliance and enhance renewable energy usage in road transport.

Formation
Climate, Sustainability & Hazards [ Maritime & Waterway Transport ] Energy: Hydro
At Zeroship, we help barge operators become emission-free without having to buy a new ship. We do this with a retrofit solution that is based on our hydrogen energy pack. The hydrogen energy pack is a standard 20-foot container that delivers reliable, emission-free electric power to the ship’s electric motor. Our business model consists of two offerings: we replace the barge’s diesel engine with an electric motor, and then lease the energy packs to the barge operator – refueling with green hydrogen included.
