SOSV Climate Tech Summit (Free | Virtual | Oct 14-18) > Main Stage Session > " 🔋 Koloma: The Clean H2 Under Our Feet" ➡ Register to the Summit (free): https://lnkd.in/dfQmzNwG (5,000+ registrants) #Hydrogen is a perfect #green fuel. Burning it yields only water and heat. Actually producing H2, however, usually takes electricity and natural gas, both problematic. An alternative is “#geologic H2”, the naturally occurring H2 deposits in the earth’s crust. In theory, they can be discovered and exploited just like oil and gas are today. If that works, renewable energy’s prospects will soar. Earlier this year, Koloma raised an eye-popping $245 million Series B this year to pursue that vision.

SOSV Climate Tech Summit (Free | Virtual | Oct 14-18) > Main Stage Session > " 🔋 Battery Wars. Can the Best Tech Win?" ➡ Register to the Summit (free): https://lnkd.in/dfQmzNwG (5,000+ registrants) It is technically challenging to manufacture lithium-ion #EV #batteries in high volumes, and just six incumbents – CATL, BYD in China, Panasonic in Japan, and LG Energy, Samsung SDI, SK On in South Korea – produce 80% of the world’s supply. Several battery startups aiming to challenge the Big Six legacy with better technology stumbled badly this year, mostly around production and technology issues. Sila Nanotechnologies, Inc., on the other hand, has raised $1.3 billion, including $375 million in June, for its #silicon (versus #graphite) anode batteries, which promise faster charging and greater EV ranges. Sila’s first plant is under construction, in Moses Lake, Washington, and the firm plans to ship their first EV batteries next year to three customers, including Mercedes. This panel will cover the challenges of building a battery plant and business onshore, and the exciting development it represents for US technology independence.

SOSV Climate Tech Summit (Free | Virtual | Oct 14-18) > Main Stage Session > " ☀ Nuclear Fusion: How Close is Too Close?" ➡ Register to the Summit (free): https://lnkd.in/dfQmzNwG (5,000+ registrants) #Nuclear #fusion’s promise of limitless power is the holy grail of the energy sector, but containing the nuclear reactions that power the sun is one of mankind’s greatest technical challenges. So how close are we? Commonwealth Fusion Systems, an Massachusetts Institute of Technology spinout, has raised $2B and built the novel REBCO magnets required to contain super-heated fusion reactions in its Tokamak “donut” reactor. It has projected that its plant under construction in Massachusetts will be on the grid in the next decade. Investment in fusion grew 7.5% year-on-year to reach $4.3 billion since 2020, according to Sightline Climate. How much more will it take?

SOSV Climate Tech Summit (Free | Virtual | Oct 14-18) > Main Stage Session > " 📊 It's Actuarial. Climate is Reinventing Insurance." ➡ Register to the Summit (free): https://lnkd.in/dfQmzNwG (5,000+ registrants) The #insurance industry has no climate deniers as the frequency of $1 billion+ natural disasters has increased from 1 every 4 months in the 1980s to one every 3 weeks, according to the U.S. National Climate Assessment. Facing huge losses, big name insurance companies are dropping coverage in places from California to Iowa. Meanwhile, new insurance approaches based on #parametrics (payouts based on weather metrics) and #AI-based risk analysis are surfacing to address the property risks of climate change. Our panel spells out the future of underwriting against climate.

SOSV Climate Tech Summit (Free | Virtual | Oct 14-18) > Main Stage Session > " 🏗 Steel and Cement's Electrifying Future" ➡ Register to the Summit (free): https://lnkd.in/dfQmzNwG (4,500+ registrants) At 7-8% each, #steel and #cement production are responsible for 15% of global emissions. Since 2020, investors have funded dozens of startups – $2.8B for steel and $925M for cement – aiming to decarbonize these indispensable #industrial sectors. Today, the best approaches are far from settled. Both Massachusetts Institute of Technology-spinout Sublime Systems and Electra use novel electricity-based (as opposed to heat) technologies to create green cement and steel, and both are on the path to their first production plants – Sublime with an $87M federal grant, and Electra with an $85M round backed by Bill Gates’ Breakthrough Energy Ventures. The greening of steel and cement may hinge on their success.

SOSV Climate Tech Summit (Free | Virtual | Oct 14-18) > Main Stage Session > "⛴️ Decarbonizing Shipping, the last frontier in transport" ➡ Register to the Summit (free): https://lnkd.in/dfQmzNwG (4,500+ registrants) Maritime transport produces nearly 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and the UN’s International Maritime Organization declared last year that the industry should take its carbon output to zero “by or around” 2050. Quitting maritime bunker fuel, the predominant energy source today for shipping, will take investment and innovation in everything from new fuels to wind propulsion to reduced hull drag, as well as regulation updates to level the playing field among shipping giants. Setting the course for maritime decarbonization is this panel’s topic at the SOSV Climate Tech Summit (Oct 14-18).
