“Build a business, not a technology” Sounds easy enough, but it’s always a good reminder. One of the many lessons learned at Decarb Tech Invest #DCTI24 last week in Boston, bringing together stakeholders across industrial incumbents, startups, government and investors across the different funding tickets. I absolutely loved how grounded the sessions were - the discussions were not on pie-in-the-sky, futuristic projects, but rather industrial developments that are scalable and economical today. Some of my take-aways: ⏰ Industrial companies need plug-and-play decarb tech now, and are focussing on existing technologies for the 2030 horizon. For 2050, also lower TRL technologies are considered, provided there is a clear path for scalability and cost-down 🤝 Tapping into existing customers, demand, infrastructure, suppliers and stakeholders can help accelerate uptake of decarb technologies - always make sure you fully understand the complex industry you are operating in 💵 Projects need to rely on more than just carbon credits - it can be a great additional revenue stream, but the landscape is too uncertain to build a full business case on them. This favours carbon utilization over purely sequestration. 📈 There is a missing middle between Venture and Infra Capital: Growth. Building a First-of-a-Kind plant doesn’t just need finance, it also needs committed offtakers. This is a place where corporate VC can play a critical role, as both funder and customer.  ⏭ Switch to the next stage as early as possible. Before you fully finished tests in the lab, think about what your first pilot looks like. Before you start building the first pilot, have a basis of design for your first commercial plant etc. Thanks for the inspiring insights from the terrific panelists! Alex Cameron Claude Vachet David Yeh Deanna Zhang Eric Maltzer Greg Bohannon Ian Kuhlenthal Jeff Johnson Joe Lawton Josh Nycholat Kerri Fox Matt Lucas Michael Campos Francis O'Sullivan Wim Reyntiens and many others #FOAK #decarbonization #energytransition #investment Decarb Connect
