As we kick off #ClimateWeek, I'm thrilled to share the latest news from our team. Last week, we rebranded to Elemental Impact. Why the change? We're no longer just an "accelerator" - but a broader investing platform to support climate solutions at scale. 💡 🚀 This moment also marks an important launching point for our platform with a $100M Funding Program under the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF). We've officially opened applications for projects. Phase I of this process will identify program eligibility, with Phase II capturing specific project details. What are we looking for? In short, projects that utilize commercially-proven technology and achieve 3 core objectives: reduce emissions, benefit communities and mobilize private capital. We’ll be accepting applications on a rolling basis this year. Learn more and apply here:  https://lnkd.in/esbUD73A So much love for the entire Elemental Impact team that made this moment possible.
