We are excited to share our latest research authored by Kevin Biehl and Kobi Weinberg, "Six Insights in Climate Technology Project Development."   Climate technology must be rapidly deployed soon and on a massive scale to meet ever-more-urgent sustainability goals, but these projects face unique financing challenges. CREO analyzed dozens of demonstration and commercial scale climate projects, identifying innovative development approaches and key trends across project size, sector, technology scale, government support, and risk mitigation. This research seeks to answer questions about climate project development, such as “what are the characteristics of climate projects that seek financing?” and “what de-risking steps do developers take to deploy climate technology more rapidly?”   One thing we know for sure: developers are financing and building climate projects, despite impediments. To facilitate greater investment, we recently launched a new project-specific intake form to collect and disseminate climate project investment opportunities.   Read the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/ePNFR48d

We are excited to share our latest research paper, "Floating Offshore Wind." This snapshot, written by our Sector Managers for Oceans and Energy, Aly Rose and David Siap, focuses on the increasing popularity of floating offshore wind as a clean energy alternative and its investment landscape. Identifying that there are numerous investment opportunities across the capital stack in this rapidly evolving industry, supported by growing international and domestic policy clean energy commitments, the authors emphasize that technological innovation will be a key driver of progress in the floating offshore wind sector, both reducing production costs and boosting throughput rates. We invite you to learn more about various technological innovations within the floating offshore wind value chain.

CREO’s latest market research, written by our Senior Manager, Energy David Siap, provides a snapshot of the EV charging software landscape. The paper includes a framework to view the current landscape of startups in the space as well as some analysis of recent funding trends. Vehicle-grid integration (VGI) focused players have attracted the lion’s share of funding in H1 2024 while the rest of the sector seems primed for consolidation. This suggests VGI will remain a target for growth equity and investors in other subsectors may be more opportunistic.

We're thrilled to share that our latest report, "Understanding The Climate Finance Gap," has been featured in Forbes!   Writer, Rob Day, highlighted our report's compelling data, especially on the critical funding gap at the "missing middle" stage, and wrote that he would encourage “every investor with interest in climate solutions” to check out our report. We found that 60% of critical climate technologies are ready for commercial scaling. Yet there remains a need to push technologies across all climate sectors past the “tipping point” where costs reduce significantly. Scaling these technologies will not only mitigate emissions but also unlock new value pools across sectors estimated to be as large as $12trn annually, providing opportunities for private market investors.

CREO is excited to share its latest research by Sophie Thorel and Kobi Weinberg – “The CREO FOAK Framework.” First-of-a-kind (FOAK) commercial projects are a pivotal milestone in scaling emerging climate technologies. FOAK projects can carry distinct risks and struggle to attract sufficient capital. The CREO FOAK framework identifies characteristics that qualify a commercial climate project as “first” - helping to demonstrate deployment precedent, reduce perceptions of risk, and allay financier concerns.  This paper illustrates the framework’s usefulness by applying it to carbon management technologies. Due to the relative nascency of these technologies, many of the commercial-scale projects within the sector are first-of-a-kind. Detailed project descriptions and data visualizations within the paper exhibit the scalability of carbon management technology projects. The FOAK framework should help to remove obstacles to financing and achieving decarbonization objectives within and beyond the carbon management sector.  Read the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/ewEARwKZ
