On July 22, 2024, earth hit the hottest day in recent history: a 17.16°C global average. This isn't just another hot day; it's a wake-up call. Data from Copernicus ECMWF (C3S) shows a worrying trend: the last ten years, from 2015 to 2024, hold the highest annual maximum daily average temperatures recorded in the ERA5 dataset. The significant jump from the previous record in 2016 to the recent temperatures in 2023 and 2024 underscores the urgency of addressing climate change.   C3S Director Carlo Buontempo puts it bluntly: "We are now in truly uncharted territory."   Achieving a significant shift in this trajectory will remain a challenge unless fossil fuel reliance is dramatically decreased. This can only happen with technological breakthroughs that will:  1. Overcome intermittency of renewable energy sources ensuring constant, reliable power 2. Develop financially viable and more efficient energy storage technologies 3. Maximize the efficiency of renewable energy sources   At Luminescent, we're creating transformational technologies addressing these challenges, making clean energy not just viable, but inevitable. https://lnkd.in/euwUQ5HS

Luminescent is seeking an exceptional Procurement Manager to join our team. If you're ready to advance your career while making a tangible impact, we want to hear from you. https://lnkd.in/eNN3BnJ6

Doron Tamir, our CEO, on the powerful insights shared by Dr. Eric Toone at the Breakthrough Energy Summit. Dr. Toone's vision for maximizing available resources with technology is truly inspiring. We are deeply motivated to tackle these challenges head-on to achieve a better future.

Celebrating our inspiration, muse, and guiding light: This summer marks the bicentennial of the publication of Sadi Carnot's groundbreaking treatise, "Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire" (1824). Carnot's work became the foundation for modern #thermodynamics and inspired countless innovators to design more efficient heat engines. At Luminescent, Carnot's legacy is a constant source of inspiration. We're constantly pushing the boundaries of energy systems, and we know he would have been proud of how far we've come.   Learn more about Carnot's brilliance: https://lnkd.in/dQF5Fgx6 #climatetech #netzero #netzero2050 #wasteheat #industrialdecarbonization #energytransition #cleanenergy

It’s exponential, disruptive, and happening now:   -The Cleantech Revolution: RMI's annual energy transition presentation highlights how rapid advancements in renewables, electrification, and efficiency are transforming the energy system. According to RMI, the goals of the Paris Agreement are within reach. -Exponential growth of cleantech will continue: By 2030, we will be installing 1,000 GW of solar per year and selling 6,000 GWh of batteries annually, making the COP goal of tripling renewable capacity achievable. Electrification rates will double to 0.5% per year, and efficiency gains will exceed 3% annually. -The fossil fuel system faces inexorable decline: Renewables will drive fossil fuels out of electricity generation, electrification will eliminate fossils from final energy use, and efficiency improvements will reduce fossil waste. -This is the pivot decade: When cleantech costs become irresistible, renewable capacity is built, fossil fuel demand reaches its plateau's end, and the transition is priced into markets. -Now is the time to act: We need to expand renewables and electrify energy use, invest in small modular technologies, and leverage the enormous efficiency opportunities. The direction of change is clear, but the speed is up to us. For this optimistic outlook to become a reality, cleantech solutions must rise to the occasion. Luminescent checks all the boxes: affordable, modular, achieving near-perfect efficiency. We'll be a part of this transformation, helping turn the tide to a brighter future.   Download the full report here: https://lnkd.in/gwRE-QdV #climatetech #netzero #netzero2050 #wasteheat #industrialdecarbonization #energytransition #cleanenergy

Impatient Innovation (noun): 1. A proactive and accelerated approach to developing and implementing new technologies, particularly in the field of sustainable energy solutions. 2. A mindset and strategy that prioritizes rapid progress and swift adaptation to address urgent global challenges, often characterized by a sense of urgency and a willingness to take bold steps. 3. The practice of expediting innovation processes to meet the growing demand for low-carbon energy systems and other environmentally friendly technologies.   The Israeli energy tech ecosystem has grown significantly recently, with many new startups and established companies working on low-carbon energy systems.   Luminescent is proud to be a part of this transformative movement.   Check out the Israeli Energy Tech Map 2024 to learn more: https://okt.to/RDWbgK A huge shout-out to the forces behind this incredible project:  Startup Nation Central, Ignite The Spark, Israel Export Institute מכון היצוא

Geothermal energy has provided clean electricity around the world for more than a century. It is a mature, proven technology that offers a unique combination of energy security, reliability, and resilience, making it more valuable per MWh than intermittent renewables, which require large land areas and battery backup. Despite this, geothermal accounts for only 0.5% of global renewable capacity and faces challenges that have limited its growth, such as high exploration and drilling costs, and location-specific requirements. To address these issues, TechEnergy Ventures has invested in several promising companies, one of which is Luminescent. Our technology can efficiently convert the extracted heat to power, achieving significantly higher efficiencies than current methods. Geothermal energy will play a crucial role in the transition to net-zero emissions, offering a sustainable and reliable energy source for the future. We are proud to be part of the solution enabling this transition.
