Description

Wootz is an advanced material startup based in Texas, pushing the boundaries of what's possible with carbon and nanotube supermaterials. The company is leading the charge in the energy space, exploring innovative use cases for combining conventional metals with carbon nanotubes to provide new capabilities essential for next-generation technologies and infrastructure. For example, the world's reliance on copper for EV Motors has put a strain on the planet's resources, but Wootz is determined to change that. By alloying copper with carbon nanotube technology, they aim to create lighter, higher-amp capacity motors that reduce the climate impact associated with copper extraction and refinement. Wootz’s capabilities extend beyond copper and EV motor applications and can be applied to a whole host of use cases.With a proprietary process that enables Wootz to deliver bespoke, turnkey carbon nanotube formulations to end customers, the team hopes to enable the mass adoption of carbon nanotubes. Wootz is poised to make a big impact in the deep tech and climate tech space. The co-founders of Wootz bring diverse backgrounds in physics, engineering, and law to the table.

They say everything's bigger in Texas, including climate change. That's why Houston is leading the energy transition. Here in H-Town, the fourth largest city in the United States, entrepreneurs from across Texas and around the world are gathering to work with titans of industry to build the technology that will reduce emissions and power a low carbon future. We sit down with those change makers and wildcatters who are solving the toughest energy challenges with trillions of dollars on the line. We dig into how Houston will bring technology to market on a massive scale. Join us as we talk with the leaders of the energy capital of the world as they show us how the energy transition gets done.
