Resand Ltd

Sand suitable for industrial use is becoming scarce. However, the extraction of virgin sand can be reduced and the resulting loss of biodiversity slowed down by regenerating and reusing sand. Resand is a Finnish technology company specialising in foundry sand regeneration, offering its customers clean sand as a service. The Resand® solution enables almost 100% recycling of foundry sand and reduces CO2 emissions from sand use and transport by up to 80%. Resand is headquartered in Nuutajärvi, Finland, and has staff in several European countries. Resand aims to achieve strong growth in the European foundry market and to expand its business outside Europe. Resand® brings a solution to the global challenge by recycling sand - again and again and again.

Granarium Technologies

Granarium is reinventing power storage for a renewable, resilient, and mining-free energy future. We develop next-generation supercapacitors made entirely from 100% renewable materials — nanocellulose, biocarbon, and water. Our technology delivers instant, high-power response to stabilize grids, protect critical operations, and enable reliable 24/7 energy availability. Why Granarium? Today’s grids are becoming increasingly volatile as solar and wind fluctuate rapidly. Traditional solutions—batteries, fossil-based backup systems, and mined-material capacitors—are too slow, too costly, or too damaging to the planet. Granarium offers a new path: ? 100% renewable & mining-free materials ⚡ Instant power response (ms to minutes) ? 100,000+ cycles, fully recyclable ? Up to 80% lower production investment ? Local, modular manufacturing anywhere in the world ♻️ 70–80% lower CO₂ footprint and biobased carbon-sink electrodes Our breakthrough nanocellulose platform allows us to bind different biocarbons into high-performance power-storage structures — unlocking a simple, affordable, safe, and scalable alternative to conventional supercapacitors. Use Cases Grid balancing & renewable smoothing Industrial peak-shaving and 24/7 operational reliability Hybrid systems with batteries Microgrids & distributed energy systems Traction & Momentum Granarium is spinning out from VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland with granted patents, validated TRL5 technology, and strong industry interest. We have LOIs/NDAs with reserve market operators, bioenergy producers, and electricity providers across Finland and Lithuania. Our first commercial pilots launch within six months of funding. Our Mission To enable local, responsible, and self-sufficient power storage at global scale — without mining, toxic materials, or high-emission manufacturing. Funding Granarium is currently raising a €1M Seed round, led by BSV Ventures, with the FiBAN syndicate participating.
