#PrimoDeepDives ⚡Renewables are the future of #energy—but what about the #grid? ⚡ 🌍 The transition to renewable energy is at the forefront of global conversations, yet one critical piece often gets overshadowed: #gridmanagement. As we move away from fossil fuels, the differences in #generationpatterns, #intermittency, and #geographicaldistribution of renewables like solar and wind are putting our existing grids (built on the basis of “obsolete” ways to generate energy ) to the test. To meet these challenges, #gridupgrades and #flexibility measures are essential. They’re not just about keeping the lights on but about ensuring the grid can handle more renewables, reduce congestion, and maintain voltage stability. 📊 According to the International Energy Agency (IEA): Digitalization and grid innovations could #reduce system operation #costs by 10-20%. Improved #gridmanagement could enable up to 50% more #renewableenergy integration by 2040. 🏗️ This shift is also driving massive #investments. Leading energy companies are doubling down on #gridreinforcement, #automation, and #digitalsolutions, showcasing the pivotal role corporates play in enabling innovation and fostering new niche markets in the energy sector. 💡 The potential here is enormous. Unlocking $80 #trillion in value by 2040 through increased #efficiency and #flexibility is a real possibility. Companies working on grid technologies are not just adapting to the future—they’re shaping it. Let’s continue to shine a light on these critical developments, as the grid is the backbone of a sustainable energy future.

#PrimoDeepDives 💧 Investing in the #FutureofWater, a Critical Opportunity 💧 Water is not just a resource; it's life. Yet, our world is on the brink of a #watercrisis. In 2021, climate tech investment in Europe hit an impressive $53 billion. Yet, shockingly, less than 1%—just $455 million—was directed towards #watertech (TNW). 📊 The statistics are sobering: 📌 By 2040, global #waterdemand is projected to exceed #supply by 40% (United Nations). 📌 2.2 billion people currently lack access to safely managed drinking water services (World Health Organization). It’s clear that water #conservation and #infrastructure modernization can no longer be sidelined. Entrepreneurs and #investors have to step up and recognize the urgent need for innovative solutions to protect this vital resource. Governments are moving in the right direction, with #stricterregulations and incentives, but solving this problem requires innovative technologies and infrastructure. With a huge estimated #fundinggap for water infrastructure in terms of investment required ranging from $6.7 trillion by 2030 to $22.6 trillion by 2050 (Financial Times) investors play a vital role in driving change. 💡 Here some of the most promising Emerging Opportunities in Water Tech that are re-shaping the future of #watersustainability: #Digitalwater solutions to monitor and manage usage #Precisionirrigation to reduce agricultural water waste #Advancedwatertreatmentandrecycling to reclaim vital resources #Desalination for turning seawater into drinking water #Atmosphericwater generation to harvest moisture from the air The time to act is now. Backing companies that tackle water loss and inefficiency with cutting-edge hardware and software isn’t just #smartinvesting —it’s an investment in the future of our planet 🌟 To know more, stay tuned for the final release of the first issue of #PrimoInsights: "Green Horizon - Unveiling Emerging Trends in Climate Tech" 🌏 And check out the work of #PrimoClimate here: https://lnkd.in/dWdyjRu6
