Startup Pitch Competition w/ TEN Australian Climate Tech Startups

This week Alex is away so Nick is let loose on the podcast! Nick chats to Christiaan Jordaan, CEO and founder of Sicona. 

Sound familiar? We interviewed Christiaan in back November 2021 in one of our all-time listener favourite episodes: "Australia's Role in the Battery Revolution".

Since then Sicona has come a long way! Fresh off their recent $22m funding round for their battery technology we thought we'd cover the big issues since our previous chat:
How the US Inflation Reduction Act has changed the game for climate startups (2:05)
How Australia should respond (9:11)
How the rise of Artificial Intelligence has affected climate startups like Sicona (12:29)
Christiaan's HOTTEST TAKES on venture capital and funding climate solutions (15:38); and
The inside scoop on Christiaan's recent funding round (21:28)

In case you missed our last episode with Christiaan, here's a quick recap on Christiaan and his business (or you can have a a listen here)


Sicona aims to revolutionise the battery world by improving battery efficiency with their unique anode materials, a technology that can be used with existing lithium ion batteries.


Christiaan is also the co-founder of Novalith, a company that uses carbon dioxide as a reagent in extracting lithium. We have an episode featuring Novalith where we spoke to his Co-founder Steven Vassiloudis.

How The USA Is Changing The Game (feat. Sicona)

We chat to Doug Mcnamee from Jolt Charge, an Australian electric vehicle charging business that has raised $100million from Blackrock (the world's largest money manager).

EV uptake in Australia is on a charge! When we recorded our first EV episode in 2021, they comprised less than 0.5% of total sales. In the first half of 2023 this number was up to 8%.

So while EVs are just one part of decarbonising how we move, the signs are promising. We enjoyed chatting with Doug about the future of transportation, whether Australia is out of the EV doldrums and what makes Jolt Charge different.

Jolting Australia’s Electric Vehicle Industry (feat. Jolt Charge)

We chat with Vince Allen from SunDrive, a Sydney-based startup on a mission to transform Australia into a solar manufacturing powerhouse.

In 2021, SunDrive made headlines by developing the world's most efficient commercial-sized solar cell. Not only that - by swapping silver with copper as the conductive material their products could be lower cost too. With over $30 million in funding from high-profile investors like Blackbird, Mike Cannon-Brookes, Main Sequence Ventures, Malcolm Turnbull, and CEFC/Virescent Ventures, they're a force to be reckoned with.

We loved this chat and especially Vince's love of solar, passion for Australia's great opportunity and also his toast analogy to explain how a solar panel actually works.

Made In Australia: SunDrive is Leading Our Next Solar Revolution

Do we have enough lithium for all the batteries we’ll need for a low carbon future? What is the impact of lithium extraction on the planet? And can we do it in a more sustainable way? 

Nick and Alex chat withSteven Vassiloudis ofNovalith, a Sydney startup that can extract lithium in a way that not only reduces emissions but also the amount of chemicals used in the process.

Turning Seaweed Into Plastic (feat. Uluu)

Is Samsara Eco Australia’s most exciting climate startup? With enzymes that literally eat plastic, it’s hard to disagree!

Nick and Alex chat with Paul Riley of Samsara Eco, a Canberra based company that has raised ~$60 million to tackle one of the biggest problems of all: plastic recycling.

It’s a tangible, challenging and very current problem in Australia, so we loved diving into all the issues with Paul, understanding more about how the technology works and how Samsara Eco is positioned to be a global leader.

This is our plastic DOUBLE HEADER and in two weeks time will have another hugely exciting Aussie startup tacking the problem in a very different way! So if you don’t want to miss it, subscribe away!

Infinite Plastic Recycling with Samsara Eco

Stop The Burps! Nick and Alex have a chat about using less dairy. We then interview Jan Pacas of All G Foods - a Sydney-based company which has raised A$50 million to spearhead a global revolution to create real dairy, without the cows or the emissions (8:00)

The technology is called precision fermentation and it could soon enough upend the $1 trillion dairy industry.

Dairy Without The Cow (feat. All G Foods)

We speak to Henry Bilinsky from MicroTau. The Sydney-based startup’s shark skin technology applied to planes has the potential to improve the efficiency of aviation by up to 10%, meanwhile saving airlines up to $61 billion a year on fuel.

In Australia we love flying and given our vast and isolated land, we often NEED to fly. While there are a number of options to get to zero carbon transport, many of these solutions may take decades for mass adoption. This includes technologies like battery or hydrogen powered planes (which we covered on our episode with AMSL Aero) or even sustainable aviation fuel.

But in the meantime, we have to pursue anything and everything that can increase the efficiency of aviation. This is where MicroTau’s shark-skin comes in. 

In this episode we cover:
The challenges of decarbonising long haul transport;
How Henry came up with the idea;
How the US Airforce got involved with the idea; 
Sharks on a plane you say? How does this actually work; and
How the technology could be applied to other forms of transport
