Lotus Matter and Pipeline Organics, both members of the Oxfordshire Greentech network, were named winners of the 2026 Oxfordshire Greentech PR Accelerator and will each receive £15,000 worth of communications consultancy from Mixology Communications.
The support is intended to help them raise their profile and accelerate growth.
Now in its third year, the PR Accelerator programme has awarded more than £100,000 of communications support to climate tech startups.
It is designed to help early-stage businesses refine their messaging and increase visibility to drive both commercial and environmental impact.
Andrew Laxton, CEO of Mixology, said: “Lotus Matter and Pipeline Organics are tackling two of the most complex environmental challenges facing the built environment and manufacturing sectors; decarbonising cement production, and reducing the impact of industrial wastewater.
“Both have clear commercial potential, and compelling communications will be critical to cutting through the noise and demonstrating their value to the audiences that matter to them.
“Reaching our third PR accelerator and awarding more than £100,000 of consultancy is an important milestone for us.
“We look forward to working closely with both winners to strengthen their positioning and raise their profiles to support the next stages of their growth.”
Lotus Matter is a material innovation and carbon capture company focused on decarbonising cement and other high-temperature industries.
It is developing next-generation sorbents for calcium looping, enabling cement plants to capture carbon and reduce emissions.
Pipeline Organics creates 3D-printed bio-electrochemical fuel cells that process food and beverage wastewater while generating electricity onsite.
Its technology aims to lower wastewater treatment costs, cut emissions, and reduce reliance on public utilities.
Hannah Scott, CEO of Oxfordshire Greentech, said: “This year’s applications demonstrated both the wide range of exciting innovation across our network, as well as the passion driving the people behind them.
“Lotus Matter and Pipeline Organics impressed the panel with the potential of their technologies, as well as the clarity of their plans for growth.
“At the same time, Atmosfuture was also recognised as a very strong entrant.
“Even the strongest climate innovations need the right story and platforms to make impact.
“Our partnership with Mixology helps our members articulate their value, strengthen their credibility and build trust with the right audiences that can help them reach their full potential.”
Atmosfuture, which was highly commended by the judging panel, provides a patented containerised cryogenic system that converts data centre waste heat and ambient air into clean, 24/7 baseload electricity, with captured CO? as a saleable co-product.
