It features the private, independent and for-profit companies best positioned to contribute to a more digitized, de-carbonized and resource-efficient industrial future.

"Stopping climate change will require a global effort from many different angles and Carbon Lighthouse is honored to be recognized by Cleantech Group along with others who share our vision for a more sustainable future," said Brenden Millstein, Co-founder and CEO of Carbon Lighthouse. "We're confident that with profitable climate solutions like those delivered by Carbon Lighthouse's patented energy optimization CLUES® platform and by our fellow Cleantech 100 companies, we can achieve this monumental and urgent mission in a modern way that simply wasn't feasible even a few years ago."
