⚡️ Reimagining Biorefineries Sustainable biomass plays a crucial role in achieving net zero by providing flexible renewable energy, enabling negative emissions, and helping decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors. Given this growing demand we need to establish a large scale supply of biomass and build infrastructure to leverage it. One promising route is to leverage waste streams from lignocellulose -just 25% of global agriculture and forestry residues could yield over 20 EJ worth of biofuels. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺 Scaling next-generation biomass processing is challenging, largely due to the complexity of lignin, which makes high-yield fractionation difficult. Efficient fractionation is crucial for maximising the value of plant cell wall materials in producing a wide range of chemicals and fuels. The bio-refinery model remains unprofitable, constrained by low margins on bulk chemicals and limited markets for specialty chemicals. Achieving a half-gigaton impact and profitability requires both product streams to be viable. 𝗢𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 We aim to create a company to efficiently produce 2nd generation biofuels and other products from abundant waste biomass — with a particular focus on bio-ethanol, bio-diesel, aromatics, and other valuable chemicals. We are particularly interested in new pre-treatment approaches to fractionate lignocellulose and process engineering innovations. Are you an innovator who is ready to make a difference?

🔥 Next Generation Geothermal Clean power is essential for industry and life in the future. Geothermal is among few carbon-free energy solutions that need to be deployed globally to provide of TW-scale clean 24/7 baseload power. Traditional geothermal has a long and proven track record of generating energy by developing naturally occurring hydrothermal resources. While effective, they are geographically limited. ❗️ Reaching TW scale power is impossible with traditional geothermal. Next-generation geothermal technologies are breaching the geography gap and are allowing us to access TW-scale geothermal, anywhere. These next-gen geothermal projects can be classified by their innovations in accessing heat, improving rock permeability and/or, circulating fluid through rocks. Climate deeptech startups are in forefront of these groundbreaking developments. In carousel below we are highlighting some startups pushing the boundaries of geothermal - save and share it with your network! 👉 Are you an innovator who is ready to make a difference? Apply today and be part of our Venture Creation Programme in Geothermal to power the world for generations to come.

⚡️ Facing complexity of decarbonization in Energy Systems Our fossil-based energy ecosystem is nothing if not complex. Going from the crude dregs to high quality diesel and commodity chemicals, oil undergoes distillations, chemical crackings, hydrogenations… and list goes on! Even more processes covert the energy stored in oil into the electricity we use to power everything from our homes to cell phones. 🛢️ To replace our fossil energy economy with one based on renewables, we need to face this complexity. We need to develop new complex systems capable of producing electricity, transmitting it to users, storing the excess, decarbonizing heat and interconverting between energy forms. That is why at Marble, we are hiring an Associate with a background in Energy Systems and looking to build a venture in cooling. If complexity does not scare you and you have a passion to deploy the next energy technologies, come explore with us ways to build, modify, and supplant our energy systems! 👉 https://lnkd.in/eQuRv5wf Know someone interested in this opportunity?

🥇 Aerleum snatches Gold 🥇 With 144 start-ups from 20 countries participating, Aerleum took home first place in the EDF Pulse Awards 2024! 🏋️♀️ Just in time for the Olympics, Steven and Sébastien took home their own gold medal, winning their category "Developing solutions for carbon capture, utilisation and offsetting”. Since spinning out of Marble in 2023, Aerleum have been working at breakneck speed on their innovative single-step process to produce carbon-neutral e-fuels from atmospheric CO2. ⚡️ Receiving the award from Chairman and CEO of EDF, Luc Rémont marks another milestone (and medal for their trophy cabinet). Allez Aerleum!

🔥 Why now is the best time to build in Geothermal Energy: 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺: Global power demand is due to triple by 2050 as electrification grows. Abundant clean electricity is necessary to decarbonise industry, transportation and buildings, along with supporting carbon dioxide removal and desalination. 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁: Geothermal energy offers firm, clean, 24/7 baseload power with a minimal footprint, making it an ideal for consistent and reliable energy production. Only 0.1% of the Earth’s heat content could meet global energy needs for over 2 million years. 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁: Geothermal is largely versatile and can provide both power and heat. The Total Addressable Market (TAM) for geothermal includes the global electricity market ($1.6T), space heating ($1.5T), and low-temperature industrial heat markets ($72B). 𝗧𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀: In Europe, feed in tariffs for the electricity generated from renewable sources $278/MWh (Germany) can provide a cushion for high-cost projects. In the US, investment tax credits (ITC) at 30% of CAPEX and Production Tax Credits (PTC) at $27.5/MWh on power produced for the first 10-years of operation will support geothermal projects. 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Innovations are booming in accessing heat beneath our feet, improving rock permeability, and/or fluid circulation across next-gen geothermal modalities.
