🇫🇷 Deep Tech and Infrastructure: France's innovation model for the green fight 🇫🇷 France leads in environmental innovation by integrating high-tech solutions with infrastructure, to fight climate change effectively. Here are some insights on its pioneering initiatives, by Sébastien Le Roy (Partner - Serena) and Michael Mansard (Principal Director - Zuora): 🐓 The French Tech 2030 Program supports startups focusing on environmental solutions that blend deep tech and infrastructure, reflecting France's commitment to technology in addressing societal and sovereignty challenges. To make the climate transition happen, we need financing and support for hybrid models. That's why at Serena, we've been backing from the early days companies like Electra, Accenta.ai, or Jimmy. 💽 Companies like Accenta.ai are revolutionizing the environmental sector by leveraging AI for geostorage, demonstrating the powerful synergy between disruptive technology and geothermal infrastructure. Schneider Electric integrates connected products and services, moving towards a sustainable business model that prioritizes the planet. ☁️ With a $2 billion investment in low-carbon hydrogen projects, the Clean H2 infrastructure fund by Ardian and FiveT Hydrogen AG shows global confidence in France's approach. This initiative aims for carbon neutrality by 2050 and demonstrates the French model's appeal to international investors. 🌱 France is a good example of effectively using both technology (software) and physical tools (hardware) to tackle environmental issues and take care of the planet's well-being. This strategy aligns with EU environmental goals and encourages global sustainable innovation. 💰 Recognizing the need for awareness and substantial investment to overcome climate change, France’s model offers tangible benefits for the planet and attracts investors, marking a key solution for global environmental strategies.

Solutions for Funding and Financing Green and Circular Infrastructure Infrastructure is responsible for 70% of all GHGs emitted globally, 18% of which are embodied emissions from infrastructure. To achieve global climate goals, we must rapidly re-shape the sector to be more sustainable and apply circular economy principles. However, this transformation involves technology risks and high upfront capital costs. Consequently, green, and circular infrastructure is not being funded and financed at the necessary pace. Innovative funding and financing models are therefore critical to achieving net-zero goals. To address this challenge, we have compiled a collection of global case studies showcasing innovative funding and financing mechanisms that support the development of green and circular infrastructure. https://lnkd.in/eHPiMn8m #GreenInfrastructure #CircularInfrastructure #CaseStudies

🌟 Major Milestone for STACK Infrastructure! 🌍 Stack Infrastructure has just announced a significant achievement, securing $3 billion in green financing to advance their data center developments across the United States. This funding will support projects in three key locations: —Prince William County, Virginia; Phoenix, Arizona; and Atlanta, Georgia—totaling a remarkable 900MW in capacity. What sets this announcement apart is Stack's commitment to sustainability. The company plans to leverage this green financing to ensure these data centers are as environmentally friendly as possible. Key initiatives include: ♻ Zero potable water usage for cooling ♻ Low-carbon construction materials, including recycled content ♻ Energy-efficient designs aimed at optimal Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) Stack Infrastructure's CEO, Brian Cox, highlighted the importance of this financing in aligning with their mission to promote a sustainable digital future. "Our clients prioritize minimizing environmental impacts, which parallels our mission to advance a sustainable digital future," Cox said. This latest round of funding follows Stack’s impressive track record, including $1.3 billion raised in June and $3.3 billion in green financing earlier this year. With a growing portfolio of 4GW of built and under-development space, Stack is clearly positioning itself as a leader in sustainable data center development. This announcement not only underscores Stack’s commitment to responsible growth but also sets a benchmark for the industry in integrating sustainability with large-scale digital infrastructure projects. #Sustainability #GreenFinancing #DataCenters #Infrastructure #Innovation #EnvironmentalImpact

By building decarbonization plans backed by legitimate technology pathways, the Net-Zero City Project aims to help corporations reduce their carbon footprint while capitalizing on revenue building opportunities. We plan to use equity investment to direct resources towards overall profit for each of our partners and the applicants who participate in our Project. In this article we expand on the types of technologies required for each committee of this project and how we might integrate those technologies into development projects. https://lnkd.in/gQMXANUJ #ag-tech #agriculture-tech #architecture #bio-fuel #bio-tech #biodiversity #carboncredits #carbonemissions #carbonneutral #carbontracking #citydevelopment #cityplanning #cleantech #cleantechnology #cleanwater #climateanalysis #climatechange #commercialdevelopment #construction #coolingtechnology #desalination #electricinfrastructure #electricvehicles #energy #energyefficiency #energymodelling #energystorage #energytransmission #environment #environmentpreservation #finance #future #government #greeninfrastructure #greentech #greenhousegasemissions #heatingtechnology #industrial #industrialdevelopment #infrastructure #innovation #invest #investors #land #landuse #landfillelimination #microgrid #microhydro #microbiomes #municipality #netzero #projectmanagement #property #realestate #recycling #renewableenergy #smartcities #smartgridtechnology #smarttech #solar #state #sustainability #sustainableenergy #technology #transportationdesign #urbandevelopment #urbangreening #urbanplanning #urbanresilience #wasteelimination #waterrecycling #windpower #windturbines
