Last week, Gravity CEO & Co-founder Saleh ElHattab and Eclipse Partner Aidan Madigan-Curtissat down with Jill Malandrino to break down how investing in climate tech has proven to cut costs, mitigate risk, and future-proof companies ahead of regulatory changes. Here's a snapshot of the first few questions: Q: How can companies proactively approach sustainability to ensure long-term benefits? Saleh: Sustainability should be viewed as a two-sided coin: emissions and energy cost. By focusing on total energy consumption and optimizing sources, companies can align with traditional business priorities such as cost and risk mitigation. This approach remains relevant regardless of evolving regulations, making it a strategic move that offers long-term benefits. Q: What is the role of infrastructure in achieving climate and energy goals? Aidan: Our country is facing an energy crisis, with forecasted demand growing by 50% from five thousand terawatt hours per year to more than seven thousand terawatt hours per year in the next decade. We need a modern infrastructure for energy generation, transmission, storage and measurement to come remotely close to satisfying this massive leap in demand. At Eclipse, we invest in a wide array of technologies that transform physical industries, including energy infrastructure. Examples include new battery storage solutions for renewable energy, energy management and decarbonization software, microgrid orchestration technology, and other energy solutions for industrials. Q: Can you share a use case where Gravity's technology has made a significant impact? Saleh: There are many, but to pick one: a prominent utility company uses Gravity's technology to manage its cooling loop for the city, including stadiums and pharmaceutical manufacturers --- through the volatile seasons of the Midwest where it's hot one day and cold the next. By leveraging Gravity’s intelligent management of temperatures, they reduced cooling system consumption by 30%, resulting in significant cost savings and reduced carbon consumption, highlighting the potential of energy efficiency solutions.
