It's inspiring to see collaborations driving energy efficiency forward! 🌍 The partnership between Boston Consulting Group (BCG), with Christoph Schweizer at the helm, and Breakthrough Energy is a shining example. While I’m still forming my stance on climate change, I firmly believe that energy efficiency is crucial. Breakthrough Energy, founded by Bill Gates, is uniting the private, public, and philanthropic sectors worldwide to invest in climate solutions. Their mission? To find, fund, and scale technologies and businesses aiming for net-zero emissions and combating climate change. They’re focusing on innovative solutions in several key areas, from reducing greenhouse gas emissions in building construction and food production to transforming transportation, electricity generation, and heating/cooling systems. I see AI playing a pivotal role in enhancing energy efficiency. Through optimization, anomaly detection, and actionable insights, AI can automate and refine processes across industries, resulting in significant energy savings and environmental benefits. 🌱💡 What are your thoughts on energy efficiency?

"What We Create Today Shapes Tomorrow" We all strive to leave our mark on the world, but what truly matters is creating something that outlasts us—whether it's a business, a movement, or the values we pass on to the next generation. Legacy isn't about fame or recognition; it's about building something meaningful that continues to grow, inspire, and make a difference long after we're gone. These are the main steps we are taking across our company. TRANSITIONING TO GREEN FUELS AND RENEWABLE ENERGY: Transitioning to green fuels and renewable energy sources isn't just a strategic decision—it's a moral imperative to protect our planet. EMBRACING INNOVATION: Constantly enhancing our products and processes to deliver value responsibly and sustainably. CREATING OPPORTUNITIES THAT UPLIFT OTHERS: Investing in people, ideas, and initiatives that empower future generations to thrive. It's a powerful reminder to focus on what truly matters: the impact we leave behind. What does creating a legacy mean to you? What steps should we take to shape the future today? 🌟 #Legacy #Inspiration #Leadership #Impact #Growth

🌳🥂Cheers to a successful 2024 — and to an even brighter 2025! 🌳🥂 This year was a turning point for EnClim as we made remarkable strides in advancing smart net-zero strategies for the energy and climate sector. We contributed to global climate change negotiations, provided expert testimony in high-level arbitration cases, led cutting-edge modeling in the Brazilian natural gas market, while conducting academic research on the history of energy economic thought. With new partners João Amorim⁩ and Hugo Borges EnClim⁩ joining our team, we strengthened strategic alliances, expanded collaborations with world-renowned institutions, and began inspiring the next generation of talent. Looking ahead to 2025, we look forward to providing independent, objective thought leadership in the energy transition, helping our clients turn challenges into opportunities. Here’s to accelerating the journey to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in 2025! #SmartNetZero #2025 #GoEnClim

Q1 Climate Tech Funding Update (from Net Zero Insights): - Uptick in funding to put Q1 on par with the biggest quarters in late 21 / early 22 - This is due to an increase in large rounds, despite falling overall deal count - Financing from rounds over $1bn in Q1 24 exceeded funding from these giga rounds in any previous FULL year - There was a much larger participation from debt in this financing https://lnkd.in/eVR7Anky

I was a bit late to this because of travel, but the Q1 market report from Net Zero Insights has some fascinating takeaways. The pace of deal making has slowed, as has been widely observed in the market. But there are unmistakable signs of maturation. There is now meaningful amounts of non-dilutive financing being deployed to climate tech, pushing overall financing back to the peak, even though equity participation is lower. Also, Europe is kicking ass - outliers in Swedish champions H2 Green Steel and Northvolt of course, but it goes beyond that. You have to go down to number 7 in the top cities to get to one in the US. On the equity funding, managers we've been speaking to have been indicating things are picking up on the deal side. A lot of companies that had extended their runway via unpriced rounds in late '22 / early '23 are now coming back to market properly. Also, as noted by Sightline Climate (CTVC) recently, there is plenty of dry powder out there. The public announcement for rounds normally lags by a couple of months, so will be interesting to see if this comes through in the data next quarter. Finally, it's cool to see our underlying portfolio company Koloma (via Evok Innovations) being given a shout-out for their big Series B announced earlier this year. We are PUMPED about that company.
