Tyromer Selected for the Amazon Web Services Clean Energy Accelerator 4.0 | Tyre and Rubber Recycling

The Amazon Web Services enterprise acceleration programme is set to support decarbonisation at scale through client venturing

Tyromer Inc. has announced that it has been selected as one of the 21 startups out of over 800 candidates from 74 countries that will participate in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Clean Energy Accelerator 4.0 Generative AI edition in the circular economy focus area, a high-pace, non-equity dilutive accelerator designed to support enterprise customers decarbonise at scale, through co-innovation with emerging clean energy and climate tech solutions by mature startups. This means that Tyromer has gained funding without loss of ownership.

The programme is focused on helping accelerate net zero pathways and the deployment of circular economy solutions to meet the world’s growing energy needs and to preserve depleting resources.

“We’re pleased to welcome Tyromer into the Clean Energy Accelerator 4.0 as we work together to accelerate energy transitions through generative AI and grid modernisation,” said Howard Gefen, General Manager of Energy and Utilities, AWS. “With focus areas spanning from sustainability, to clean energy, to alternative fuels, we are excited for this collaboration in helping us reach our net zero goal.”

Jon Visaisouk COO at Tyromer added; “We are excited to join the AWS Clean Energy Accelerator and work towards overcoming clean energy and decarbonisation challenges. Through this programme we can help define and shape the future of clean energy, climate tech and circular economy innovations.”

The circular economy is one of the focus areas of the AWS Clean Energy Accelerator 4.0. Amazon Operations Sustainability has joined the programme as a piloting partner, looking for breakthrough solutions in low carbon building solutions, circular economy, sustainable fleet and mobility, and low carbon fuel technologies.

Tyromer is excited to collaborate with Amazon Operations Sustainability to pilot tyres containing TDP (Tyre-Derived Polymer), a devulcanised tyre rubber made from end-of-life tyres, to introduce the Tyromer Tyre-to-Tyre vision for sustainable mobility.

The AWS Clean Energy Accelerator 4.0, which was announced at COP28 and kicked off in March 2024, has selected its cohorts.

Throughout the year it will bring the participants and piloting partners into immersion sprints and workshops to dive deep into piloting opportunities in addition to events to showcase clean energy technology innovations, pilot progress and new use case developments to an audience of leaders in the energy space, industry experts, private and public sector and investors.

The Tyromer Tyre-to-Tyre strategy will contribute to the goal of sustainable mobility. Tyromer licenses its TDP production technology and systems worldwide to establish a distributed supply chain so customers can “buy local” and economic benefits and jobs “stay local”. Tyromer welcomes partners to advance its Tyre-to-Tyre vision for a circular economy.
