Clean energy projects fail, stall, and stumble all the time. Around 80% never make it to construction. Paces, an AI-fueled geographic information system and data platform that aims to help renewable developers pick the best sites for their projects, claims it can cut down the site finding and evaluation process “from months to minutes." CEO and co-founder James McWalter told Latitude: “We make sense of [the data], and then we say, ‘Okay, this is a great place to build solar, and it’s not just because the sun is shining, but because you're much more likely to get the project built here.’” https://lnkd.in/eANakgF9

Two years ago, a group of major companies led by Stripe threw their collective weight behind one of the cleantech market's greatest challenges: making affordable carbon dioxide removal available at the gigaton scale. In the years since, that advance market commitment, dubbed Frontier, has contracted more than $300 million to projects that span all four major CDR pathways: direct air capture, biomass-based approaches, enhanced weathering, and ocean CDR. Frontier’s original thesis, explained head of deployment Hannah Bebbington, was that early customers of new technologies that don’t yet exist at scale, could signal demand — and help pull those technologies down the cost curve. Two years in, Frontier is starting to see some “leading indicators” that its vision has legs. But reaching what Frontier calls “climate-relevant scale” by 2050 remains an incredibly steep undertaking. https://lnkd.in/eRkhhctt

There’s a cleantech deployment gap. A recent report from McKinsey & Company quantifies that gap in the U.S. and Europe — and the progress that different technologies have made to date. “Our analysis shows that many planned projects for key decarbonization technologies in the European Union and the United States are falling short of announced targets, some significantly so.” https://lnkd.in/eXhq_z3J

To address the grid’s evolving needs, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recently set a target of 160 GW of new virtual power plant capacity by 2030. However, scaling VPP resources to this size will require a new understanding of how VPPs can provide value beyond traditional demand response. A new white paper from EnergyHub explores VPPs’ unique value proposition and charts a path forward for utilities to successfully scale VPPs and deliver a reliable, resilient, and flexible grid. Available now on the Latitude site: https://lnkd.in/e-e32Kcq
