Modern Hydrogen’s Post

Traditionally, #climatetech investments have focused on #renewableenergy and electrifying transport. However, it's crucial to recognize the importance of sectors like #lightindustry, #energystorage and #climateadaptation which are essential for decarbonization and also insulates people from the impacts of climate change. Last year, the world invested $1.8 trillion in climate tech, primarily in renewable energy and electrifying transport—sectors that are relatively mature. (1) #Decarbonizing Light Industry: There's been minimal progress in reducing #emissions in light industry sectors that rely on low to medium heat, such as pulp and paper production, food and beverage manufacturing, and textiles. (2) Improving #EnergyStorage: The increased use of renewables in power grids globally makes energy storage deployment crucial. The storage sector attracted a record $36.3 billion in investments last year. (3) Boosting #ClimateAdaptation: As the race to a net-zero world continues, reducing the harms of climate change is vital. Last year, the US experienced a record 28 #climatedisasters costing $1 billion or more. This year, #heatwaves and #wildfires highlight the urgent need for adaptation. According to the 2023 UN Environment Program’s Adaptation Gap report, there is a funding shortage of up to $366 billion for projects that could help society adapt to #climatechange. The world is changing, and it will continue to #change as we continue to emit more and it important, we take action now! #Actnow

I did a short article on how the new discipline of Transition Engineering can support the finding of Positive Tipping Points.

The challenge and the opportunity of tech in the race to decarbonise comes under the spotlight at #ClimateWeekNYC. Word is the new gold rush for bankable technologies is on. Our CEO Dr Andrew Coburn is among the action and has today’s business analysis in his daily blog post.

🌎 Growing at the Speed of Transparency 🌎 🤝 Trust accelerates progress, especially in carbon dioxide removal (CDR). Inspired by Stephen M. R. Covey's "The Speed of Trust," we recognize that transparency is the foundation for building this trust. 👏 We take this moment to acknowledge these CDR.fyi Data Partners for their transparency and leadership in building trust in the global CDR ecosystem: 1PointFive | AirMiners | AlliedOffsets | American BioCarbon | Arca | BioCarb Solution | Biochar Life | Bioman ApS | Carbon Capture Scotland | Carboneers | Carbonfuture | Carbonx Climate | CEEZER | Charm Industrial | Circular Carbon | Direct Air Capture Coalition | Down to Earth - Carbon Removal | Drax Group | Exomad Green | First Climate | Frontier | GECA Environnement | Heirloom | INTERHOLCO AG | Isometric | Klimate.co | MaRS Discovery District | MASH Makes | Microsoft | Milkywire | NetZero | neustark | Novocarbo | Nūxsen | Pacific Biochar | Planboo | Puro.earth | remove | Restord | Running Tide, and more. 📄 To learn more, read our latest blog article here: https://lnkd.in/gRiNczts

🌟  From Lab to Market: Accelerating Climate Solutions National labs are stepping up their game in the climate tech arena, with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) of Energy’s Cradle to Commerce (C2C) program accelerating the path from lab breakthroughs to market-ready solutions. Dive into how these labs are now "seeding the market with winners" and leading the charge for clean energy innovation. 🔗 Read the article from Latitude Media to understand how this shift is making waves in the climate tech landscape : https://lnkd.in/g5dWBXXF Berkeley Lab #C2CSummit2024 #ClimateTech #CleanEnergy #Innovation #Sustainability

In 2023, the climate sector faced challenges head-on, with European climate investments dropping by 39%, surpassing the global average decline, while witnessing a remarkable surge in investments within the 'Other Climate' category. Our blog dives deep into these developments, offering valuable insights into the industry's resilience and adaptability. As we set our sights on 2024, the blog anticipates a transformative year with the ascendancy of clean energy investments, the proliferation of hydrogen projects, the emergence of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), and the pivotal role of precision agriculture and alternative proteins.

🌟 Another great newsletter by Sightline Climate (CTVC) - link in comments. CTVC has asked their readers on key themes for 2024 in the #cleantech #netzero area. This is dominated by #US topics, but nonetheless insightful. My personal top 3: 1️⃣ Climate tech #funding will increase > of course 2️⃣ Will flat/down rounds increase (in cleantech #VC funding) > more likely than not 3️⃣ not part of the direct questions: Will the US have an impact on #European climate tech > very likely, i.e. result of presedential election and interest rate development Have a good year

Thrilled to share a "Family Picture" moment from the #IFcleantech conference last week, as we celebrate the incredible support from CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency for our "E-fuel Pilot" project at Nordic Electrofuel. With a whopping 40 million euros in funding, we're not just fueling planes, we're powering visions! 🚀 This isn't just about money; it's about belief – belief in innovation, in cleaner skies, and in a team that's as charged up as the e-fuels we're producing. Here's to turning CO2 frowns upside down and flying high on sustainability! 🌿✈️ #IFcleantech, #InnovationFund, #SAF, #NordicElectrofuel

Positive tipping points can accelerate the #energy transition. Tim Lenton, Professor of Climate Change and Earth System Science at Global Systems Institute, University of Exeter, explains how to make them happen. The World Economic Forum’s First Movers Coalition initiative is a group of leading companies working to scale clean #technologies by pledging to purchase and invest in them, ultimately enabling entire sectors to decarbonize.

🌍🛰️ Unlocking $700B with Earth Observation by 2030! According to the World Economic Forum, by 2030, EO technology will offer a colossal economic opportunity exceeding $700 billion and significantly reduce two gigatonnes of carbon emissions annually. This advancement goes beyond monetary value, transforming our approach to urgent global challenges like climate change, disaster response, and urban planning. Harnessing the power of EO, we can achieve high-impact insights to protect and manage our planet more effectively. Let's tap into this potential and drive meaningful change!
