The Innovations Pushing Transport Toward Net-Zero
The global transport infrastructure is deeply intertwined with the fossil fuel industry. Transportation contributes 15% of global emissions, making it the second-largest emitter of greenhouse gases. To achieve transport decarbonization, the sector must wean itself off fossil fuels which still powers most vehicles worldwide. There are promising signs of progress.. The electrification of road […]
How Climate Tech Decarbonizes the Built Environment
Cities are the driving force behind economic development. Today, they are home to 55% of the global population – a projected 68% by 2050. This rapid urbanization, coupled with overall population growth, places immense energy demand:from electricity to power buildings to the manufacturing of construction materials. To align with the Paris Agreement’s goal to […]
How Climate Tech Drives Innovation in Food and Agriculture
The food and agriculture industries account for one-third of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. These emissions stem from crop and livestock production, land-use changes, and pre- and post-production processes such as food manufacturing, retail, consumption, and waste disposal. With increasing temperatures threatening traditional agricultural practices and a growing global population placing higher demand, […]
How Climate Tech Powers The Energy Transition
The energy sector is responsible for over 73% of global greenhouse (GHG) emissions. Its transformation is central to achieving a sustainable future, with Climate Tech solutions playing a pivotal role in making it happen. Advancements in energy technologies, business models, and services are powering the shift. We urgently need to reduce our reliance on […]
How Climate Tech Drives Industrial Decarbonization
Hard-to-abate industries like cement, steel, iron, and chemicals, are among the largest contributors to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, accounting for 40% of total emissions. Despite their significant impact, these sectors have traditionally received less attention than energy and transport in Climate Tech financing efforts. Achieving Net-Zero emissions in Industry requires substantial investment, […]
The Climate Tech Solutions Fuelling The Circular Economy Transition
The world faces a critical resource crisis, with overconsumption and over-extraction degrading natural ecosystems. Global resource consumption is projected to rise 60% by 2060 compared to 2020 levels owing to urbanization, industrialization, and population growth. This mounting pressure highlights the urgent need to transition away from the linear take-make-waste economy toward a circular model. A […]
13 Types of Commercial Agreements Shaping Climate Tech
Commercial agreements are structured collaborations between two or more parties—often between corporations, startups, and governments— showing intent to purchase a product or service. They help Climate Tech companies secure funding, mitigate risks, and commercialize their solutions. To bring solutions to market, a strong push from both public and private sectors is essential to create an […]
What are Offtake Agreements?
Securing the right financing to bring solutions to market is critical to scale Climate Tech. Yet, many breakthrough technologies stall before commercialization, unable to attract investment without clear signals of market demand. This is where offtake agreements come in. By guaranteeing buyers before production begins, these contracts show early market demand, unlock funding, and […]
